- to increase the social inclusion within their neighbourhoods of people with serious and enduring mental health problems
- to increase the take-up of Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme services among communities that find them difficult to access
- to increase the level of support offered to people with mental health problems who find it difficult to access existing services in their neighbourhoods
