WDC - Voluntary Community Sector services for West Warwick

Tender description

Warwick District Council is committed to supporting its most vulnerable residents. It offers many practical services to improve their quality of life: an important aspect of this support is a suite of services delivered on a contractual basis. The services would include: - advice, support, coaching/training and activities to help individuals improve their engagement with public and VCS services, - overcoming social isolation, - improving physical and mental health, building confidence, independence and personal resilience. The services delivered should be designed to make a measurable difference to the service user's wellbeing. While some service users may only require one-off support, others may benefit from a longer-term package of measures. Although the services should be available to all residents of Warwick District, they should be targeted at residents of the above deprived communities. It is an essential criteria that services should be delivered out of the existing community hub (The Packmores Community Centre) and that the contractor will be required to provide day to day on-site management of this facility. The Council is looking to ascertain suitably experienced organisations from the market that would be interested in delivering these services for West Warwick in Warwick district.
