Notice Description

The Cambridgeshire Local Assistance Scheme (CLAS) contract delivers needs led services to individuals and families in financial hardship. Its focus is on financial resilience providing early advice, support and works with clients helping them to move on from a crisis point to prevent reoccurrence.

The CLAS providers' collaborative work within Cambridgeshire's Hardship Support System has enabled coordinated responses and the sharing of intelligence.
