GMCVO is looking for a provider with the ability to deploy the skills and expertise and with an appropriate track record in similar work to support people over 50 with learning disabilities to engage in a programme of research on approaches to age friendliness. This will be followed by a programme of awareness raising work. This work will be delivered across Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Tameside and Wigan. Providers will be required to work with people from across all 8 districts. It is anticipated that the provider will work with people with a wide range of learning disabilities.
