Grenfell Recovery Strategy

Emotional Health and Wellbeing support for Adults

Through the Grenfell Recovery programme, the Council supports a range of providers to deliver targeted emotional health and wellbeing support for adults in the community. 

During a wide-ranging consultation and engagement exercise conducted in February and March 2021, we heard the views from over 130 service users, residents, providers and other partners, and used this feedback to reshape the offer of emotional health and well being support for adults:

  • We  extended and enhanced the previous Together for Grenfell (T4G) provision, supporting providers to increase the reach and impact of their services and helping to fill gaps identified in the consultation, such as support for older adults and men.
  • We introduced a new Peer Support programme which provides opportunity for local people to come together to support one another in recovery. 

Together for Grenfell

Together for Grenfell is an overarching project involving four providers working together to create flexible, adaptable and culturally sensitive mental health and wellbeing support services for those affected by the Grenfell tragedy. The projects work in collaboration with local people and offer personalised services that are built around the needs of local residents. They pay particular attention to the diversity of the local community to ensure the services are culturally appropriate to meet residents’ needs.

Providers work with partners across NHS, the Council and local providers to ensure appropriate support and access to services is available to residents to meet individual needs.

Peer Based Support Programme

In addition to agreeing new arrangements for the Together for Grenfell project, the Council recently launched a new peer-based support programme, with projects beginning in January and February 2022. The programme aims to support community-led recovery from the Grenfell tragedy, building on community strengths to improve health and wellbeing for local people by:

  • Commissioning established local providers and existing community groups to run new peer based support initiatives for adults, with a focus on trauma-informed and recovery-focused approaches.
  • Providing opportunities for new or emerging resident and user-led groups to establish new grassroots peer support groups.
