Community Help Partnerships
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how allocations will be decided for new Community Help Partnerships.
Answered by Josh Simons
The Government announced Community Help Partnerships (CHPs) at the Spending Review. Since then, we have been working closely with a wide range of stakeholders—including people with lived experience, the voluntary sector, and central and local government—to design a programme of preventative support for adults experiencing disadvantage.
This will build on learning from the Changing Futures’ crisis-focused programme. CHPs will go further in addressing systemic barriers to allow local services to provide better integrated, earlier preventative support. The Cabinet Office is working closely with MHCLG to coordinate the two programmes.
We are continuing to explore how to strengthen alignment with wider place-based public sector reform. Further details will be announced in due course.
