Specific Details WWETB could not guarantee funding through the REACH fund as this fund was cutting the admin section of the grant therefore impacting hugely on Windmill's application and other services. This programme provides a service that enhances lives, builds capacity and promotes empowerment. Losing or reducing this service would have a serious impact on those who access our Day Service

Intended results Sustaining and securing this programme ensures: Cost-Effective prevention of crisis intervention and hospitalisation Improved quality of life and independence Community integration and active citizenship Reduced long-term health and social care pressures Collaborative impact linking families, professionals and services Empowerment of those who are often unheard
