The Warm Handover Incentive has been designed to encourage food projects to refer clients to important wraparound services which can support them out of hardship, specifically focusing on employment, housing, debt and/or benefits support.
Food projects will receive a payment of £30 for each person they refer to a VCFSE service that delivers support with any of the four identified areas.
The VCFSE organisations who receive the referals from food projects will also receive a £30 payment.
Introduction to Warm Handover Incentive
This short video introduces the scheme and explains why it has been setup.
What is Warm handover?
Warm Handover is a secure, online referal system that is managed by Suffolk Information Partnership (SIP). It enables organisations to make referals on behalf of vulnerable clients, who may not be able to access services on their own.
By completing one online form, organisations can refer a client to multiple partners, and this means that the client’s story only needs to be told once.
