Our Service Themes

We’ve organised our 151+ services into eight clear programme themes. While each centre serves its community in a unique way much of our work addresses similar needs, and so by grouping services thematically we’ve built a stronger framework for measuring outcomes consistently, mapping provision across the consortium, and identifying both gaps and duplication.
