The Spark team empower & support people working in Bristol who want to do system change to improve the system for people with complex needs. @goldkeybristol

[Spark GK @SparkChangeTeam]

So the current situation has meant we've not been able to offer some of the same #SystemChange support to the @GoldKeyBristol partnership this year. However, we're used to holding uncertainty, trying out new things & responding to emergence. Plans are afoot...

[Spark GK @SparkChangeTeam]

This bonfire night a massive *thank you* to all the bright sparks who are trying to create systems change. It's even more impressive that people are still dedicated to this work during a global pandemic. #ThankYou #SystemChangeHeroes

We've been a bit quiet over on here for a little while, but rest assured that we've been doing plenty behind the scenes supporting our @GoldKeyBristol partnership in their #SystemChange aspirations.

Most services are set up to deal with one thing at a time, but this doesn't help people who need support with a number of issues concurrently. Anna talks about @One25Charity's approach to multiple disadvantage #SeeTheFullPicture

[Spark GK @SparkChangeTeam]

Today is Multiple Disadvantage Day. A massive thank you to all the #SystemsChangers across the @GoldKeyBristol community who are trying to improve things for people experiencing multiple disadvantages. #SeeTheFullPicture

[Golden Key @GoldKeyBristol]

It’s Multiple Disadvantage Day. Help us raise awareness of the challenges people experiencing homelessness, addiction, poor mental health & other complex needs face in their lives.
