Social Inclusion One Stop Shop
The Social Inclusion One Stop Shop will function as a route into the Third Sector for people experiencing frailty who have been assessed as socially isolated or at risk of social isolation. We are inviting referrals of people who do not have critical or substantial need
but would benefit from some lower levels of interventions and support.
Signposting Widely
Whether a person would benefit from support on discharge from hospital, befriending, a morning call, exercise or falls prevention classes, advice services, mental health support, a shopping service, or even just better access to activities in their local community we have detailed local knowledge and relationships with local services that allow for quick and effective referrals that support people to meet their outcomes and improve their health.
Knowledge of the Third Sector
With up to date and evolving knowledge of the third sector and the full range of community resources and support that is available, we will work with individuals to identify their needs and to direct them to appropriate local services that will make a difference to their
quality of life.
With a wide range of services and options available it can be challenging and time– consuming to locate and refer in to different services in the city. The One Stop Shop will encourage a single, simple referral that can then lead to a variety of interventions for a person. We will make direct contact with people, building a relationship and finding out what they feel would be important to them in order to create bespoke packages for each individual.
Flexible and Creative
We will constantly be looking to overcome barriers to social inclusion and working with partners across the sector in a variety of ways to creatively meet people’s needs and lead them towards social connection.
Most importantly we will work flexibly and adapt to people’s preferences to ensure that their choices and individual needs are followed up in a person–centred and sensitive way.
