In July 2024, BCP Cabinet and Full Council agree to support a four-year transformation programme called Fulfilled Lives, approving a total investment of £2.9m spanning the first three years.

The programme is made up of four inter-dependent projects:

·       How We Work

·       Short-Term Support

·       Self-Directed Support

·       Support At Home

An initial investment of £1.79m for the first 12 months of the programme was agreed, with progress monitored on a minimum six-monthly basis by members of the Health and Adult Social Care Overview & Scrutiny Committee.

The programme entered its delivery phase in January 2025 and, since then, progress reports were presented to Committee in January, March and July.

The release of the remaining £1.11m funding for the programme was approved by Cabinet and Full Council in July 2025, and this report provides a further brief update for the programme overall including a deeper focus, as requested, on the Self-Directed Support and Short-Term Support projects.
