Local Area Coordination

How it works

Local Area Coordinators cover specific geographical areas.

At the moment, the only criteria to receive support from a Local Area Coordinator is to live in one of the areas where they are based. These are:

  • Primrose
  • Whitburn and Marsden
  • Biddick and All Saints

This is an exciting project, and we hope to introduce it to more areas in the future.

Other than that there's no other criteria. Support is:

  • free of charge
  • informal and easy to access - you don't need to have to complete any forms to sign up, simply just get in touch
  • available for however long you would like - it could be a short chat with someone or it could be ongoing
  • available even if you're getting support from formal channels, for example from childrens or adults social care or health teams

You have complete choice and control over what we do or don't help you with, and the number of times you meet really depends on what you want to achieve.

We will provide you with just the right amount of support to help you achieve the changes in your life you want to make.
