Notice Title

Engaging and Strengthening Communities in Fenland

Notice Description

Cambridgeshire County Council is looking for a provider to administer the Healthy Fenland Fund, which aims to support improvements in health and wellbeing through the use of a community assets approach to strengthen communities and build their resilience. The Fund has been established for communities in Fenland to access small grants to develop local projects and interventions to address their needs. This funding may be used to strengthen the community by supporting the building blocks or for a specific project that addresses a community issue. Over the course of the Programme there will be an annual fund for allocating grants to communities. The criteria for allocating the grants will be agreed with the commissioner. The provider will enable communities to become stronger and more resilient by providing community workers to build community capacity through identifying community members to act as enablers and supporting them to work with their communities to realise their assets and manage their own needs. They will also be expected to: identify and pursue additional funding opportunities to augment the size of the fund available to communities; provide an easy access and single point of contact for communities; provide online and digital information to ensure that resources can be used to best effect and connecting with all relevant community groups and organisations; work with partners at a strategic and operational level. The service needs to be proactive, identifying and anticipating changes and supporting the communities to meet changing circumstances, providing insight and intelligence to inform community decisions and action.
