Fulfilling Lives
Supporting People with Multiple and Complex Needs.
The South East Project, working in Brighton and Hove, Eastbourne and Hastings, is one of 12 projects across England where National Lottery Community Fund investment is supporting people with complex needs.
As well as supporting people, the funding will evidence more effective and efficient ways for designing, commissioning and delivering support services for this group in the future.
The purpose of this initiative is to bring about lasting change in how services work with people with multiple and complex needs; this funding is a vehicle to help bring about that change.
The legacy of the eight year programme will be that systems and services in all three geographical areas will better meet the needs of this group.




The project is funded by the the National Lottery Community Fund and led by BHT who are the overall accountable agency. It is made up of local delivery teams from different partner agencies (currently Equinox and Oasis Project), as well as a team of Project Consultants employed by BHT who work across Brighton & Hove, Eastbourne and Hastings.

Pete's Story - Breaking the cycle: Capitalising on crisis with repeat offenders
Some people with multiple and complex needs can get in a ‘cycle’ of serving short-term sentences in local prisons. When our clients leave prison they may sleep rough or engage in problematic alcohol and substance misuse. These circumstances can lead to low-level crime to support themselves, which result in a return to prison and a continuation of this cycle.
Pete was in this situation throughout much of his time with us. He seemed highly chaotic in his lifestyle and behaviour, and used multiple substances regularly. He was wary of any services that tried to support him, and would not engage with any workers offering help.
