## Notice

Cambridgeshire County Council is commissioning an independent, proportionate evaluation of the seed-funded element of the Care Together programme. Care Together has several components, including community-led projects supported through small grants and wider activity designed to strengthen local support for older people. This evaluation focuses on the community-led projects that received seed funding. The evaluation will provide a high-level assessment of delivery and early outcomes across all district areas, supported by a small number of case studies and light-touch engagement with partners, participants and community organisations. It will explore the programme's contribution to prevention and early help, identify key learning, and highlight what works well across different community settings. Findings will inform future commissioning and support the development of a practical evaluation toolkit to guide monitoring and assessment for the 2026/27 Care Together funding round.
