• Integration and service development - the provider will have an integration function that enables the Well-being and other GMIRS services to maximise the understanding of the impact of interventions and identify gaps, communicate learning across internal and external partners and seek to maximise the income the GMIRS can access via fund raising and the development of any potential commercial avenues including social corporate responsibility and additional grants and contracts available to the VCSE sector.
• Service delivery – deliver or commission partners to deliver the core Well-being Support Service in each local authority area of Greater Manchester and deliver in-custody support for people in prison.
