About

Bolton Council awarded a contract to National Schizophrenia Fellowship (T/A Rethink Mental Illness) for the creation of an Advocacy Hub to meet statutory requirements under the Care Act 2014, Mental Capacity Act 2005, and Mental Health Act 2007 across all categories of need, including adults with learning disabilities, dementia, mental health needs, acquired brain injury, physical and sensory impairment, and young people in transition to adult services.

The Hub will also provide leadership on wider advocacy matters across the town, working in partnership with the voluntary and community sector and advice providers to ensure advocacy is understood and support is available to citizens who may have difficulty articulating or negotiating their needs and personal goals.

The contract value is £720,000.
