Published on: August 1, 2025
We’re delighted to share with you a link to our Stories of Impact, which were launched in Westminster last week. You can access all 10 reports here: A Better Start Southend | All of our Stories of Impact – A Better Start Southend
The Stories of Impact provide a summary of our insights and findings across the ten years of the A Better Start Southend Programme.
Key Recommendations:
- Invest in relationships and peer-led models to build lasting trust, community resilience, and system-wide sustainability.
- Ensure partners and organisations remain flexible and ready to adapt to changing needs and complex systems.
- Design services with inclusion at their heart, removing barriers so that every family can access support.
- Capture and use evidence at every stage to guide decisions, justify ongoing work, and secure sustainability.
