Community Asset Development

A fundamental aspect of the Mental Health Transformation Strategy for Lincolnshire is to support people to live independently in their own homes and communities. By providing access to a range of activities and services within the community that promotes outcomes which in turn support recovery and good mental health; this would contribute to generally improved health, wellbeing, independence, and choice for people with a mental illness, including serious mental illness.  This involves working alongside people with lived experience and partner agencies to ensure unbiased access to community support services across the County and developing Community Assets to provide a wide range of activities and service for Social Prescribers to ‘tap into’.
