What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Emotional Wellbeing For Armed Forces Community project builds on the unique partnership between the four Black Country authorities and the project operates across the four areas. The Black Country Armed Forces Covenant Partnership covers the same geographical area as the Black Country Integrated Care Board (Dudley, Walsall, Wolverhampton and Sandwell).

This contract is utilised by the 4 following authorities:

City of Wolverhampton Council (Civic Centre, St. Peter's Square,

Wolverhampton, WV1 1SH)

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council (Council House, Priory Road, Dudley, DY1 1HF)

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council (Sandwell Council House, Freeth Street, Oldbury, B69 3DE)

Walsall Council (Civic Centre, Darwall Street, Walsall,WS1 1TP)

There is a significant gap in upstream provision aimed at promoting emotional wellbeing across the Armed Forces Community. This innovative proposal bridges that gap by implementing evidence-based emotional wellbeing strategies and delivering activities designed to enhance emotional health, reducing the number of people reaching crisis point.
