About Changing Futures

The Changing Futures Programme is a £77 million joint initiative by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and The National Lottery Community Fund, the largest funder of community activity in the UK. The fund is for local organisations to work in partnership to better support those who experience multiple disadvantage, including homelessness, substance use, mental health issues, domestic abuse, and contact with the criminal justice system.

Nottingham City Council is one of 15 areas in England to have been awarded a grant as part of the Changing Futures Programme.

This ambitious programme has secured local funding to continue this vital work beyond the government grant, as system partners acknowledge its importance.

The Nottingham programme has a number of strands, including navigators working intensively with people experiencing Severe and Multiple Disadvantage (SMD), a lived experience team, an insight and development hub, a housing first team and embedded practitioners in key agencies. The Wraparound Multi Disciplinary Team, a case conference for people experiencing SMD, seeks to ensure those approaching crisis are able to access support, care, or treatment that they want and need.
