About us
Since 2013 focus C.I.C has been operating as a social enterprise. It enables us the opportunity to radically change the way we do things, making use of the flexibilities which operating outside the public sector affords us in order to improve outcomes for the most vulnerable people in North East Lincolnshire. We are keen to embed our social work practice in communities and neighbourhoods and take forward the development of preventative interventions. Being close to and involved in our local communities is at the heart of what we do. We are working to change the focus of social work away from 1:1 client work to that of ‘community broker’, enabling people to take control themselves, to make full use of the community assets available and to develop new community capacity. This requires flexibility, innovation, fleetness of foot, an entrepreneurial culture and the fostering of partnerships and alliances. Empowering and supporting our staff is critical to our success. With a flatter management structure and devolved roles and responsibilities our aim is to ensure that staff feel an integral part of the new organisation able to influence and be involved in decision making. The organisation has approximately 150 staff with an operating budget of c£4m and have joint responsibility with the NELCCG (in full) for care and support budgets of c£28m. A Board of Governors with an independent chair; employee, community, user and carer representation oversee the social enterprise which is established as a Community Interest Company. All employees are eligible and encouraged to become members of the organisation.

Managing Your Mental Health at Christmas 🎄❤️ Christmas can be a joyful time, but it can also feel overwhelming. Here are some simple ways to take care of yourself this festive season: 🌿 Get out and about: A change of scenery can lift your mood. A 10-minute brisk walk can work wonders! 📵 Don’t compare: Social media only shows the highlights. Focus on what brings you joy, not what others are doing. 👨👩👧👦 Stay connected: A quick call or visit with loved ones can make you feel less alone. ⚖️ Find your balance: Take things at your own pace—whether that’s slowing down or getting involved in festive fun. 🗣️ Reach out for support: If you’re struggling, there’s help available. Explore local services in North East Lincolnshire here: https://lnkd.in/ebtrMVvt. Remember, it’s okay to prioritise your mental health. 💚

As part of your care and support at home, you may be receiving your services via a Direct Payment. This means that you are organising your own care and support. How much you receive depends on your needs and how you are going to use the Direct Payment to meet them. You may also be asked to make a contribution to meeting the costs of your social care. 🔗 You can learn more about Direct Payments at LiveWell - https://lnkd.in/g9ZR6a-Y
