The project forms part of the Kirkby Pride in Place Programme and contributes to the Education, Opportunity, Work, Productivity and Skills theme. The pilot is intended to provide practical, trusted and early support for families experiencing financial pressure, low confidence, social isolation or wider wellbeing challenges.

The project is intended to complement existing provisions rather than duplicate it. ADC requires a Single Supplier to lead on this work, please refer to specification for further information.
