National Lottery Climate Action Fund and WWF-UK: 'Mobilising Community Climate Action' project

Tender description

This project has two primary aims. First, to recruit and support 250 community leaders across 5 cities/regions (50 per city) to bring others from their community together both virtually and physically to view and discuss the DALOOP film - becoming the coffee mornings or book clubs of the mobilisation world. The attendees of these sessions will leave knowing what actions they can take together, and in their personal lives, that impact on climate and nature. And secondly, to support groups looking to take local climate action to address the nature and climate emergency by offering small grants (max. £500) towards the costs of equipment hiring, transport, volunteer costs etc. In the wake of COP26 in Glasgow it is critical that we continue to engage and support a diverse range of audiences if we are to effectively transition to a green economy. For this project to be a success, we need to not only engage target audiences but also lever audiences, such as local community groups, campaigners/movement builders and local institutions. To do this, so far we have recruited on the ground 'Implementation Partners' in Manchester, Glasgow and Wales to deliver this project in the cities/regions they know best. Using their existing expertise and experience in navigating their local landscape and engaging diverse audiences, we now require two more 'Implementation Partners' - one in Birmingham and one in Sheffield. The available budget for each Implementation Partner is a maximum of £9,500 to deliver the work (outlined in this ToR) with a further £6,000 to be used for small grant funding for individual / group action projects. Date for project to start: Late January 2022 Date for project to end: April-June 2022 (TBC) Bid for the work should include: • Which City/Cities you are located in • Date you would be available to start • Availability [days per week] • CV • Relevant experience [and case studies of similar previous work if applicable] • Examples of how audience engagement will be carried out • A precise budget broken down by key tasks, including consultant daily rates Please email proposals to procurement@wwf.org.uk / dsdavies@wwf.org.uk
