We
have a commitment to and focus on working in partnership to
ensure that there is blanket coverage of quality advice and help
across the region. Thanks to funding from the Big Lottery,
Cheshire West CAB has teamed up with Shelter and Age Concern to
form Cheshire West Advice Partnership.
There is evidence
that when services do not collaborate, clients can feel pushed
from pillar to post creating what is known as "referral
fatigue". Very often those in greatest need fall
through the gaps. The Partnership will combat this by
working with many community organisations to establish
co-ordinated delivery of advice and help. The focus will
be on enabling people from areas of high social deprivation in
Cheshire West to access good quality advice more easily.
The rights of many of our poorest households will be protected
and social inclusion will be promoted.
