A ‘Meet the funder Q&A session’ for potential bidders to find out more about the opportunity, and ask any questions.

Connect Hackney is a £5.8m programme aimed at enabling Hackney residents aged 50 plus to improve their wellbeing, by reducing or preventing isolation and the programme is managed by Hackney CVS and is one of fourteen programme areas in England funded through the six year Big Lottery Fund - Fulfilling Lives, Ageing Better programme. The ultimate aim of Connect Hackney is to learn which kinds of projects and interventions work best to reduce and prevent the social isolation of older people.

 

Connect Hackney now in its second phase of delivery, after having funded a range of projects and activities that have sought to reduce loneliness and social isolation amongst older people in Hackney. We are now looking commission a range of projects that meet the needs of socially isolated older people with complex needs, and we have shortlisted these to the following three categories:

 

  1. People living with dementia/Alzheimer’s
  2. People affected by mental health issues, specifically depression and anxiety
  3. People who find it difficult to leave home regularly

We are looking to award a minimum of one contract up a value of £85,000 for each of the three complex needs themes, (3 x £85,000 contracts), however we will consider awarding a fourth contract if any one of the three themes generates a strong response. The total funding allocation for this tender is £340,000.  Please see the link below for information to the specification and application form. The deadline for the tender is 5pm on 20 March 2019.
