This service will be delivered in Hackney, London, focusing on a culturally-attuned, peer-led model facilitated by local young adults. As part of a complete procurement process, the contract was signed on 10th March 2026 and is set to commence on 1st April 2026, with an expected duration of one year initially, and with the possibility of a one-year extension until 31st March 2028.
