Provision of Ageing with Pride for Ageing Better in Birmingham

Descriptions

The Big Lottery Fund (BIG) awarded BVSC £6m funding as the Lead Organisation to reduce isolation for older people to enable them to lead more fulfilling lives in their communities. The overall aim of the Ageing Better in Birmingham project is to facilitate change in the way older people are considered by and within communities, to empower citizens to take part in and influence activities to reduce isolation in later life. There are two distinct phases to Ageing Better in Birmingham - the first (established 2015-6) aims to establish and develop involvement opportunities for older people to reduce isolation. The second aims to identify and understand current and potential future causes of isolation. This second phase will be undertaken through Local Action Plans - one for each of the four priority areas where Ageing Better Hubs have been established during the project's earlier phase. Of which, Ageing with Pride is a part of. The aim of this Contract is for the provision of Ageing with Pride - a project within the LGBT Local Action Plan. This requires the design and delivery of an intensive, integrated city-wide campaign combining community development techniques, marketing and communications with active citizenship to improve the behaviours, attitudes, services design and delivery for and towards the older LGBT community. The clarification deadline in relation to this tender is Tuesday 8th August at 5pm. The submission deadline for this opportunity is Friday 11th August at 12pm noon. Clarification questions will be responded to within 3 working days. All clarifications must be sent through in-tend and not directly to members of BVSC staff.
