Technical requirements: London and Quadrant is one of the largest charitable housing associations in the country and over the next 10 years will become one of the largest developers in the country, creating new homes and communities. Through the L and Q Foundation we continue to develop and fund social interventions that improve people’s chances in life and creates opportunities in our communities. The Independent Lives pillar of the L and Q Foundation provides a holistic, multi modular intervention service through in-house and commissioned support. However, the team has identified gaps in its current service provision and how the lack of a Health and Wellbeing (H&W) offer is impacting our ability to provide an all-encompassing offer to our residents. With that in mind, L and Q are looking to introducing an outreach service to our residents where by a diagnostic assessment can be completed either within the resident’s home or locally. With a person-centred approach, we are looking for an organisation to use its experience and skills to help encourage residents to take up opportunities either locally to them or via the provider themselves remotely.
