A new North Somerset Adult Mental Health Peer Support programme has gone live on the VCSE Brokerage Framework.

The programme will offer flexible, person-centred support comprising both one-to-one peer mentoring support (via referral from the Woodspring and One Weston Mental health & wellbeing Integrated Network Teams – ‘MINT’s) and open-access peer support groups for adults across North Somerset.  

 

The successful organisation or partnership of organisations will develop, set up and run a peer support offer, working closely with the MINTs and recruit, train and manage peer mentors.  This is a new initiative and there is scope to lead on its future development.

 

The investment available is £123,500 over two years (£61,750 per year), with a  possible extension by a further year of £40,000.   

 

Delivery is based in North Somerset but open to any organisations within Bristol, North Somerset or South Glos to apply, via the VCSE Brokerage Framework until 19th December at 5pm.  Further details are available here – Brokerage Framework – BNSSG Healthier Together
