People who have 'fallen through the cracks' are the focus of a new scheme offering support
People who have "fallen through the cracks" are the focus of a new scheme offering support such as counselling to people living in parts of Ashfield. The Coxmoor and Kirkby areas have been chosen as the focus of the Vulnerable Adult Support Scheme, targeted at people such as domestic abuse survivors and those suffering with their mental health.
Ashfield District Council, which has launched the scheme alongside Nottinghamshire Police and the Police and Crime Commissioner, says 17 people have already been helped. One of the areas of focus has been on identifying vulnerable people in areas where those who have had their properties closed may move to.
The new scheme has come after a successful bid to the Government's latest round of safer streets funding, which was focused on tackling neighbourhood crime, anti-social behaviour and violence against women and girls. But Ashfield District Council says it will continue its scheme beyond the life of the Government funding.
"One of the things we have to focus on is identifying vulnerable people that are quite high demanding on services. We're streamlining the support being provided because a lot of residents do find it quite difficult navigating all these services."
