After beneficiaries have engaged with Fulfilling Lives for one year, evidence suggests a reduction in negative behaviours and misdirected demand for services. This creates opportunity to use resources differently. Read the briefing to #seethefullpicture fulfillinglivesevaluation.org/wp-admin/admin…

After a year with Fulfilling Lives, people are less likely to be rough sleeping and more are living in supported accommodation or their own tenancy. Read our latest briefing to #seethefullpicture fulfillinglivesevaluation.org/wp-admin/admin…

We'll be sharing findings from the national evaluation of the Fulfilling Lives programme at the upcoming webinar: What makes an effective multiple disadvantage worker? This will be hosted by @OppNottingham Practice Development Unit #seethefullpicture nottinghamcvs.co.uk/civicrm/event/…
