Closing the Gap 2022 - 2025
Notice Description
Reading Borough Council, along with our partners from Berkshire West CCG, are completing an ITT exercise for the provision of Preventative and Support Services - a project as a whole known as Closing the Gap 2022-2025. Closing the Gap (CTG), which was previously commissioned under the Narrowing the Gap II framework, is an established programme within Reading for the commissioning of services to: tackle poverty, discrimination and disadvantage; promote wellbeing; and support thriving communities. CTG brings together funding from Public Health, Adult Social Care, Housing and Neighbourhoods and the Resources Directorate along with additional funding from the Clinical Commissioning Group to continue support for these causes and further the good work already undertaken to date. The commissioning of CTG services will allocate funding to target inequalities in the most disadvantaged groups and neighbourhoods using an outcomes-based approach.
