Promoting the interests and involvement of community care service users and carers in the planning of services

BACC was set up in 1989 by community and voluntary groups and organisations to strengthen the voices of community care service users and carers in the planning of health and social care services across the Bradford Metropolitan District.

BACC works with disadvantaged, disabled and socially excluded communities, bridging the gap between these groups, planner & service developers.

BACC promotes active community involvement in health and working partnerships between voluntary or community groups and statutory services.

The work of BACC is done in two main ways:

• By providing a two-way flow of information and engagement between planners and service users (an infrastructure support role)

• By undertaking specific projects and pieces of development work. These additional areas of work are both supported by and contribute to the core work of BACC.

One of BACC Streams of work is housing......

If you are in need of housing support or know someone in the Bradford District who needs housing support, then you may find the Bradford Supporting People Service User & Carer Directory useful
