UID 121 Tools and Resources for Community Engagement in Places
Notice Description
This requirement is for creating and signposting a coherent set of resources aimed at community audiences supporting volunteers, local delivery bodies, and communities in understanding, caring for and managing their local historic places. The products are divided into four groups: * Group 1 - Resources which help volunteers to collect condition data about heritage assets * Group 2 - Resources for delivery bodies to help them recruit, train and manage volunteers working on heritage projects * Group 3 - Advice and planning tools for communities wishing to base events/activities around heritage in their area deliver positive social outcomes for local people. * Group 4 - Resources to support fundraising for community projects * Group 5 (OUT OF SCOPE OF THIS PROCUREMENT) - Resources to help volunteers and communities engage with local planning authorities Historic England is aware that resources exist across the cultural sector which may address the needs of communities under some of these groups. Where appropriate resources already exist contractors should ensure that they are signposted in this new suite and appropriately credited. Historic England does not wish to create new resources where adequate resources are already available and can be signposted.
