Changing Futures (CF) is a national 3-year, £64 million programme aiming to improve outcomes for adults experiencing multiple disadvantage. It is funded by the Department of Levelling Up, Housing & Communities and the National Lottery Community Fund until March 2024.
Working with 15 local partnerships across England, Changing Futures is testing new ways of bringing together public and community sector partners to help people change their lives for the better.
We aim to create an environment where individuals experiencing multiple disadvantage can receive flexible, trauma informed, person-centred support when they need it, leading to increased periods of stability and more opportunities to make positive changes in their lives.
Sussex was awarded a Changing Futures grant of £4.45M in July 2021 to improve the way that local systems and services work for adults experiencing multiple disadvantage.
Definition of Multiple Disadvantage:
Multiple disadvantage or multiple complex/compound needs (MCN) is defined by the national CF programme as people who experience three or more of: homelessness, current or historical offending, substance misuse, domestic abuse, and mental ill health.
The Sussex programme focusses on meeting the needs of the most vulnerable people who repeatedly fall through the net…
Working alongside people with lived experience of multiple disadvantage, to achieve positive changes in services, to make them better connected, and easier to access.
To achieve this we are embedded and are part of
the three Sussex Local Authority Areas:
