The funds will be used over the next five years to develop Beyond Empowers Community Outreach offer, to provider longer-term community based support for those that need it.
This cash injection will provide dedicated capacity to develop the offer to give it the best possible chance of success.
Ben Andrews, Managing Director for Beyond Empower had the following to say on the award and work it will support:
“Long-term, we’re confident that the Community Outreach offer, a form of community based social care, will be able to sustain itself.
But getting it to that point will take time and a level of investment we just aren’t able to fulfil as an organisation.
We’re really graeful to The National Lottery for their support in helping us develop and establish this offer to offer longer-term support to disabled people that want it.”
