Lancashire County Council's Essential Household Goods Support Scheme is a non-statutory Service that provides support for the people of Lancashire who need help to maintain or establish a home within the community. It provides free essential household items to those individuals/families who do not have access to sufficient income or funds to meet their immediate needs, along with help and advice in seeking additional support. The overall aim of the Service is to support people to meet their immediate needs and to help them feel more secure and live more independently in their community.
The new Service to be commissioned will manage the entire Service, the Service Provider will deliver the first point contact through to the approval, provision and delivery of essential household items. This will include managing three separate strands:
Strand 1: Receiving and assessing applications to the Essential Household Goods Support Scheme
Strand 2: Sourcing and delivering essential household items to successful Service Users
Strand 3: Supporting Service Users - both those awarded and not awarded household provision - to seek additional support
As the budget is limited, it is expected the Service Provider will work with the Authority, and in partnership with public, voluntary, faith and community sector organisations, to deliver an innovative, flexible and holistic service that maximises resources, manages demand and prioritises those Service Users most in need.
