## Description

Central Area Council is looking to commission a Provider to develop and deliver a service that offers volunteer led, home based one to one engagement, with follow-on support provided, if required, to introduce new parents to community provision/universal services/Family Centre provision etc\. The service should increase the resilience and emotional wellbeing of new mothers who are experiencing isolation and low level emotional wellbeing issues\. This approach should provide a sustainable support network and in turn, contribute to a reduction in the need for more costly services for both parent or child further downstream\. Sustainability, community support, use of an asset based community development approach, partnership working, self-reliance and reciprocity should be built into the service design and delivery\. Where needed, support should also be provided or existing agencies/organisations contacted, to establish new groups and activities\. Opportunities for recruiting, training, deploying and supporting volunteers should also be a key element of the delivery model\. Please visit https://www\.yortender\.co\.uk for more information\.
