Solid Foundations is a project which helps to address the barriers you may be facing. This may include debt, mental health, physical health, disability, literacy, numeracy, addiction, past offending, and self-belief. We will provide coaching, guidance and mentoring to support and help you.
The project is tailored to meet your specific needs and provide personal support. This approach ensures that you have a better chance of succeeding with what you want to achieve.
Solid Foundations is led by Citizens Advice Northumberland, delivering as Thriving Together Northumberland, with Cygnus Support, Northern Learning Trust, Community Action Northumberland, Northumberland Community & Voluntary Action, and Blyth Resource and Initiative Centre as delivery partners.
This project is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund with the North East Combined Authority as the Lead Authority.
Solid Foundations is a partnership programme, bringing together six voluntary and community organisations with a wealth of experience and knowledge in supporting those who are economically inactive in Northumberland.
The programme will help people with complex or multiple challenges and be adapted to their individual needs. Projects will provide much needed support through activities such as one-to-one mentoring, job application advice, skills courses, help with budgeting, and health and wellbeing services.
