About No Wrong Door
Life for too many people is shaped by poverty, trauma, violence and abuse. Or by other barriers including homelessness, addiction and discrimination.
These disadvantages often overlap but the current model of services that are paid for and provided in different sectors doesn’t reflect this. It means people often have to share their stories repeatedly to access all the support they need, it’s costly and it deepens inequality.
The No Wrong Door action learning partnership is testing out how to create cross-sector, integrated services in four areas, with local results informing a blueprint for joined-up service delivery nationwide.
