Beacon Care and Advice has continued in our mission to support marginalised adults, particularly those with additional needs in overcoming barriers to services, understand their rights and responsibility and access the help that they need. We have achieved this by provide social care advice, advocacy and information via the phone, email and face to face appointments to the local community. Initially this was funded by income generated from our paid services, Paid Person Representatives for Leicestershire and Rutland County Council and via a small grant from Market Harborough and The Bowdens Charity, which also provides our community space. In September 2024 we were awarded three years funding from the National Lottery We have been able to successfully support some of the most vulnerable people in the district to better manage their situations and achieve their goals. We support adults who have care and support needs, people from the Gypsy and Travellers Community, adults who are homeless or threatened with homelessness, people living with addiction and those suffering from mental health issues. We have built up a proven track record of successfully working with members of the community who have additional needs and where other sources of support have failed or were not available, enabling them to understand their rights and responsibilities, to access services and achieve their goals. This includes continuing to support people from the Gypsy and Traveler Community, people with physical and mental health issues, older people and people facing or experiencing homelessness Demand for our face-to-face advice and advocacy service has continued to grow, demonstrating the success of our approach and the essential need for this service. We receive referrals, and work in partnership with, statutory and voluntary service providers in the district. This includes HDC Housing Team, CAB, Local Area Coordinators, Police, Social Prescribers, DWP, NHS and Food and Hygiene Banks. We are the only service that provides face to face, person centred and individually tailored support within the district. We work collaboratively with service users and service providers to inform our practice and service delivery, plugging the gaps in current service provision. We continued to provide two Neighbourhood Mental Health Cafes within the District. These offer local support for people who need immediate help with their mental health on a drop in basis. These services form part of the NHS Urgent Care Pathway. We have provided work to local people, paying above the Living Wage Foundation’s recommendation. We have encouraged those working within our services to continue to increase their skills and undertake regular training and updates. We also utilise volunteers from the local community to assist with the provision of support, including those with lived experience.
Lived experience is central to our ability to achieve our goals. We consult regularly with members of the community including all service users and have a service users forum where we now meet quarterly to discuss the organisations progress against our aims, consider suggestions and check that we are continuing to meet our aims. Regular attendance and quarterly forums including LCC and INT/NHS ensuring evaluation and feedback is explored. We regularly consult with Stake Holders in Market Harborough in which confirms that our service is successfully engaging with members of the community who have previously been had been hard to reach and had experienced barriers to accessing many services. This service user involvement and feedback has been invaluable when bid writing/ applying for funding and has been used as a basis to develop new services. We developed and continue to use feedback systems from those who use our services through evaluation forms. Verbal feedback and pictorial info is offered for those members of the community who have a low level of literacy to ensure that their views are gained. . Discussion and feedback can be provided anonymously or discussed in person to suit the individual. We continued to review and develop systems to measure the impact of our service and increase the accessibility for all. We continued to experience an increase in clients who have self-referred for advice and support alongside referrals from Statutory and VCSE providers. As ever, the request for support from our service is high and we are constantly striving to meet these increasing demands.
