The Innovation Fund has awarded funding to Citizen Coaching CIC to deliver The Better Lives Project over an 18 month period (October 2019- March 2021) which is envisaged to help at least 150 people aged 11 to 65 who are struggling with behavioural and relationship issues to access anger management, positive behaviour and better relationship support.
Citizen Coaching will be providing one to one, group and online support to enable young people and adults to access the information and support they need to live better lives and have brighter futures. This programme is already up and running and is being accessed by young people across the borough.
Previous programmes have seen young people improve their school attendance, reduce anti-social behaviour, remain in the family home rather than presenting as homeless, have less visits to accident and emergency and crucially not end up in the criminal justice system as youths or adults.
