Company activities and impact

Advantage Mentoring C.I.C. (Advantage) is a unique partnership between two community assets and anchor institutions – the charitable arms of professional football clubs: known as Club Community Organisations (CCOs), and their local NHS. Our flagship mental health programme increases access to NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and helps tackle waiting times and reduce Health Inequalities by providing weekly 1-2-1 mentoring support for young people aged 11-21 with mild-moderate mental health and emotional wellbeing support needs. The programme provides key interventions and assistance for young people to proactively manage their mental wellbeing, re-establish aspirations and a sense of connection. The programme supports the Getting Advice and Getting Help part of the Thrive Framework and builds capacity without taking away from NHS staff time to achieve access targets. Advantage is supporting key NHS priorities around CYP mental health: - Anchor network development - partnering NHS with CCOs - Support tackling and reducing Health Inequalities via Core20+5 and existing CCO out-reach in to underserved communities - Increasing Equal Access with Better Experiences and Outcomes for young people - Capacity building and workforce development The programme A collaborative approach is key to the success of this programme and is embedded throughout. The delivery is undertaken in partnership between each CCO and their local NHS CAMHS team, with a designated Advantage Regional Project and Performance Manager providing on-going support. The programme provides each young person with one hour of one-to-one mentoring each week for up to 6 months. Sessions are young person focused to achieve their goal-based outcomes and hosted at their football club’s inspirational environments that young people feel comfortable in. CCO mentors delivering the programme use youth work principles and approaches and are representative of local community and understand local need, pressures and barriers allowing for the young person to feel more relaxed and able to relate quicker and build trust. Alongside this, CAMHS clinicians support with referrals, assessments and weekly supervision to the CCO mentors to improve practice and keep a connection across caseloads. Referrals onto the programme are for young people with low-moderate mental health and emotional wellbeing support needs and have two clear paths: - CAMHS waiting list - CCO programmes (this route supports tackling and reducing Health Inequalities via Core20+5) Over the financial year to which this report relates the Advantage programme was delivered across 10 integrated care board locations by 13 CCOs.
