Collaboration - an effective service delivery model? Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges (NOAF) Forward Thinking (Norfolk RSL)

Welcome to the New Space East website

Space considers the not-for-profit sector as effective in its delivery of supported housing and related services to the most vulnerable and disadvantaged. It regards the sector as an expert source of knowledge of the needs of users of these services. The sector is able to address ‘supply and service gaps’ with speed, flexibility and innovation and works across multiple services, agencies and locations. As a sector engaged with the most vulnerable, it is a critical contributor in the design and delivery of services and a key strategic partner for the commissioners of services.

Critically, how we achieve this requires being mindful of the values and ethos of the organisation i.e. one that puts processes, people and relations at the centre of its approach.
