Expressions of interest are sought from local partners/professionals with the capacity and capability to conduct an independent process and outcome evaluation of the “Addressing high-impact, high dependency street drinking” pilot project in Harehills and Leeds City Centre. This project is funded by Leeds City Council’s Safer Stronger Communities Team.

The pilot project comprises of two key elements: 1) outreach & intervention with the problem street drinkers themselves, delivered by Touchstone and 2) ‘Blue Light’ training for frontline services, delivered by Alcohol Change UK. The project is overseen by a multi-agency Project Reference Group.
