The role of ACHIEVE staff
ACHIEVE staff play an important role in the delivery of this support fund:
- Making service users aware of the fund, particularly when you see clear need for financial support to achieve their recovery goals
- Providing service users with electronic / paper copy of the application form and guidance
- Requesting further information of service users if their application is not clear
- Complete the ‘supporting statement from ACHIEVE support worker’ section
- Submitting the completed application to Salford CVS Follow-up with service users.
- Following up with services users 3-6 months after their award to collect some feedback on the outcome and impact of the support
The Support Fund
- This fund is designed to meet real need of ACHIEVE service users. This may be to pay for decorating a flat, furnishing a new house (including white goods) a laptop to manage welfare claims / job applications etc.
- It is most definitely not a ‘£500 personal shopping budget’ for items they may happen to want (e.g. 52” widescreen TV).
