Bridges Outcomes Partnerships

Bridges Outcomes Partnerships are a social investor who have made a variety of investments in socially driven projects including with FPM. Providing the initial capital to establish services Bridges typically lead the performance management and governance arrangements which underpin the project and support both strategic and operational delivery in collaboration with the commissioner and with the provider. As their capital is at risk Bridges keep a keen interest in the delivery and high utilisation of the services which are being provided so that all parties can be assured of the likelihood of delivery against the key metrics and performance objectives agreed in the contract. FPM has a strong and longstanding relationship with Bridges with whom we have collaborated in several projects.

‘The Bridges Outcomes Partnerships network brings together experts in policy, programme delivery, data analysis and impact measurement. Our focus is on working collaboratively with our government and charity partners to design and deliver more effective services – so we can help more people to improve their lives and achieve better value for public money.

Positive Families Partnership

Positive Families Partnership (PFP) is a collaboration between a group of organisations working towards a common goal: to prevent families from breaking down and young people from entry into care.

We provide an edge of care service, delivering holistic, therapeutic interventions to at-risk families. These therapies - Multisystemic Therapy and Functional Family Therapy – have strong evidence bases and are proven to generate better outcomes for young people and their families.

From the perspective of FPM, this was an innovative outcomes-based contract in London which provided Functional Family Therapy and Multi Systemic Therapy as an edge of care service to five London Boroughs but which expanded to ten. Providers included FPM, Family Action and St George’s NHS Trust with Bridges Outcomes Partners as the social investor. FPM acted as Programme Manager for the whole of the service delivery as well as a provider of FFT. The London Boroughs involved had a lead commissioner in place to manage the contract with Bridges. The Better Outcomes Lottery Fund was also involved as a funder of enhanced payment to commissioners. The project ran for three years with the final case follow ups completed in December 2021.
