Blackpool to Southend-on-Sea to design and deliver over 10 years a range of services for young children that will aim to put in place solid
foundations for a successful life.
Five charity-led consortia are about to embark on a 10-year quest to improve the life chances of vulnerable under-threes.
Each of the charities has been awarded a share of a £215m Big Lottery Fund pot to devise a long-term approach for supporting parents from the early stages of pregnancy up to when their child reaches three years old.
The aim of the Fulfilling Lives: A Better Start initiative is to improve the health, social and education outcomes of more than 60,000 vulnerable under-threes through changing the way systems are designed and services delivered.
The details of the five projects are outlined below.
