Hi everyone
For those of you who don’t know me, I am Megan Wardle, Operations Manager for Lincolnshire and Leicester Floating Support and the Homeless Prevention Coaching Service in Leicestershire.
I have been working at P3 since January 2018 and wow—I can’t believe how time flies and how much my teams in Lincs and Leics have achieved in this time!
When I started managing the Leicester services in 2018 this comprised of the Floating Support contract alone.
Leicester now have two contracts including the coaching service, which are the focus of this week’s blog.
It has been such a great success in its first year that we have been able to secure funding for a second year and we just found out this week we have been shortlisted for an award (see below)!
Coaching is different to traditional approaches; it’s aimed at people with low resilience and works with them for up to three months, building strengths and using positive psychology techniques to provide early intervention, preventative support. The team have successfully supported 63 people to avoid homelessness by either remaining in their current accommodation or securing an alternative place to live.
More recently, both the services have taken a proactive role in the promotion of wellbeing in line with the P3 organisational strategy.
Read on to find out more about this and our new Wellbeing Roadshow touring Leicestershire this year!
Thanks
Megan
