Community outreach and prevention

 

Jigsaw Support’s community and preventative services play a vital role in improving our communities by providing support to people who need it. They help people that have experienced trauma in their lives to over come complex needs including supporting victims of domestic abuse, long term unemployed and those facing mental wellbeing challenges. Our services also include place-based projects to improve communities.

 
Bridges
Bridges provides support, refuge and rehabilitation for victims of domestic abuse in Tameside.

Bridges is run by Jigsaw Support on behalf of Tameside Council and provides a service to protect vulnerable people, support families to care for their children safely, help people live independent lifestyles supported by responsible communities and improve health and wellbeing.
 
Domestic abuse support
Instances of domestic abuse are increasing due to the cost of living crisis. We've put together a list of some of the specialist agencies offering support during this time.
 
Motiv8
Motiv8 provides 1-2-1 wraparound support for 6 months to help people overcome barriers and move into employment and can support people to develop a personal action plan that is unique to their own needs.
 
Tameside Women and Their Families Centre
Tameside Women and Their Families Service focuses on supporting women and their families who are:

• Victims/survivors of domestic abuse.
• Dealing with mental health issues.
• Suffering with substance abuse.
 
The Prevention Alliance
The Prevention Alliance was commissioned to provide community based support across a variety of ‘low to medium’ support needs.
 
Hospital Discharge Project
Jigsaw Support manages two Hospital Discharge Projects, one which works primarily with homeless people to ensure they have suitable accommodation on discharge and the other is to ensure a smooth transition of care from hospital to home.
 
Volunteering
Our volunteering programme runs alongside our peer mentor activity and creates a platform where individuals both within and outside services can meet and share skills, interests and hobbies.
 
Peer Mentoring
Our Peer Mentor programme has been going from strength to strength. Using a structured approach, we have been able to harness the skills and talents of people with lived experience and create opportunities for everyone to learn, gain new skills, increase confidence and become ready to take on the challenges of living independently and access work or training.
