boys meet boys




I attended a meeting this morning at the town hall of one of the southeast London local authorities. Invited to this meeting was other organisations like the one I currently am employed by, who do similar types of work but for different types of vulnerable populations, as well as representatives of the local authority who funds all of those organisations.

The purpose of this meeting was to discuss matters related to service provision, any current trends or issues, and more generally to share good practice.

When it came to the councilapos;s apos;Programme Updateapos; item on the agenda, the council representatives talked about, amongst other things, their current strategic priorities (read: where there are looking at sinking a load of _your_ dosh in the very near future).

And at the top of this list of priorities, apparently, are chaotic substance users "who are either unable or unwilling to stop using substances". More specifically, they reported the council is eager to purchase services for people who are in danger of losing a tenancy and/or of becoming homeless as a direct result of their alcohol use (other substances too, but the focus seemed to be on the drink).

The group was told there have already been many a strategic meeting between the local authority, the LAapos;s housing department and the local PCT (read: already spent lots of _your_ money on paper, tea biscuits) on ways to support this "chaotic and vulnerable group". We were told how together theyapos;d explored such options as assertive outreach, daily one-to-one support and even budgeting and personal assistance, accompanying individuals to the shops to purchase "a few cans in the morning, and a few cans in the afternoon".


Life spent in a drunken stupor with a free house, someone else worrying about paying the bills, a care assistant to do all the cooking cleaning (and even ass-wiping), and a personal assistant to pick up your juice when youapos;re too "vulnerable" to do it yourself.

Where do I sign up?
