Among the projects that West End Morecambe Big Local (WEM) has recently commissioned are a growing number of smaller initiatives.
We have (forgive the pun) been going round the houses on this one, with lots of people talking about needs for supporting people, and many groups having an interest, but little in the way of progress being made. With that in mind we now plan to cut through the talk, build on the wealth of links already made, and simplify this project into a local housing worker. Their role would be to provide bespoke support to local organisations and residents on multiple housing issues. They would also hope to encourage and support collective self-help activity where that is possible. This might work in a similar way to the WEM funded HEAT project. Our goal is to sort out details by the new year.
