Shaping, Influencing, and Leading Innovative Policy and Practice
Trelya has a long-standing commitment to developing innovative services and interventions to tackle social, health, and educational inequality. With a multidisciplinary team of qualified professionals and an innovative group of local volunteers, we address the diverse needs of our community. Operating from our strategically managed three-storey community centre, Trelya hosts permanent tenants such as the NHS dental surgery Smile Together, Cafcass and The Primary Care Network’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Hub. Additionally, over 20 other services, including health visitors, social care, and school nurses, regularly operate from our centre, ensuring comprehensive support for our community. In addition to the partnerships and initiatives described below, Trelya has a long-standing relationship with Social Care, focused on safeguarding the most vulnerable families through a holistic and innovative approach. As the local go-to organisation for crisis prevention and tailored support, Trelya works closely with Social Care to manage referrals and provide pre and post-child protection interventions. We emphasise early help by having a dedicated family worker regularly attend Trelya sessions, which de-stigmatises social care and encourages earlier family engagement before crises escalate. Trelya's influence extends locally, regionally, and nationally as we continuously work to shape and lead policy and practice. Our strategic partnerships and community-focused initiatives demonstrate our leadership in addressing inequality and improving outcomes for the most disadvantaged individuals. Through our innovative approach and collaborative efforts, we strive to make a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve.
