Full description
The grant will contribute to staff costs (£9,102) and activity costs covering training, transport premises, refreshments and admin (£898). This will allow Street Connect to employ an additional Women?s Support Worker to run the Women?s Support Programme for 1 year from January 2019. The programme will provide support to women who are dealing with drug and alcohol addictions, mental health problems and other life controlling issues. The organisation opened two new hubs in 2018 and another is planned in 2019; an additional Women?s Support Worker is needed to cope with the increased numbers attending. Up to 50 people will benefit from the project throughout the year as well as the 30 volunteers involved in delivering the service.
