This report seeks approval for the expenditure of £10,232.28 from the Abbey Road, Bryanston and Dorset Square, Church Street, Hyde Park, Marylebone High Street, Regent’s Park and West End Ward Budgets in order to commission Connected Lives Charity to deliver early help activities, under seven different categories, to referred families in North East Westminster. Teenage wellbeing and maternal wellbeing are of particular concern. The pandemic and lockdowns have put significant stress on family relationships and the organisation anticipates that the gradual return to a new normal will further reveal the impact of prolonged isolation and stress. Session delivery is estimated to benefit a total of 715 participants.
