From year 1 of the contract there has been annual funding injections from Children’s Services for Live Well Leeds to deliver mental health support in the 3 Early Help Hubs. For 2024/25 this is a total of £138,896. It is envisaged that this funding will continue but it is not yet known at what level as it is funded from central government grants.
For the first 5 years of the contract (2019 – 2024) the ICB contributed an annual amount of £109,645 to deliver a befriending service. This funding ceased in March 2024 as part of wider ICB financial savings. The service adjusted their service offer for 2024/25 to take account of this. |
