What's Next

In November 2023, the Boards and Executive of Anglicare WA and Ruah met to scope opportunities to scale the learning from this project. There are a number of options to scale across different levels of the system. We're currently developing a roadmap which will encompass opportunities to create change across all levels of the system from 2024 onwards.

01

Scaling Touchpoints
Develop replicable tools to distribute to our own organisations or more broadly in the social sector. Tools, kits, playbooks for "sunshiney" interventions which can be used by practitioners. 

02

Scale as a standalone Service 

Seek resourcing to replicate the Sunshine Project model as a standalone service offering. This might look like a service model or elements such as Families Coaches with generous brokerage attached to other existing services. 

03

Scale Practices

Transform existing teams to enable more radical work within existing contracts.  This might look like working closely alongside existing services to shift worker mindsets, change day to day practices such as rostering, the FTE: Brokerage ratio in tendering, allocating resource to improve the collaboration between grassroots community work and case work. Could look like a training centre for radical practice. It could also look like trialling new CRM tech to enable client owned data platform and multiple orgs providing shared care.

04

Scale the Conditions

Normalise the “special” conditions at various levels of system that enable radical work to thrive. This might look like shifting leadership mindsets, approaches to risk, creating an authorizing environment, practitioner autonomy, commissioning mechanisms, reform training standards, individualised outcomes and more. 

Connecting with the broader movement

 

One of our team is about to embark on a study tour of similar "radical help" projects in the UK, many of which began as design projects and have since scaled to fully funded ongoing services. We are seeing that many of these services are joining together to form alliances and communities of practice, with a common voice in advocating for shifts needed at the Government commissioning and social policy level to enable their work to flourish. 

​

Check out just a few of the alliances and projects working in this way:

“It could be that the neighbourhood, not the individual, is the essential unit of social change. If you’re trying to improve lives, maybe you have to think about changing many elements of a single neighbourhood, in a systematic way,

at a steady pace.”
