South Area Council - Reducing Loneliness and Isolation

The South Area Council is looking to commission a provider to establish a service that addresses loneliness and isolation amongst older people living in the four wards that make up the South Area Council. The service should complement existing service provision, increase the security, independence and health and well-being of older people at risk of, or experiencing loneliness and isolation and increase the understanding and extent of social isolation in the South Area.

In developing and delivering this service, the provider should ensure that it is contributing to the Council's corporate priorities and outcome statements. Sustainability, community support, self-reliance, resilience and reciprocity should therefore be built into the service design and delivery.

Also and where possible opportunities for work experience placements, apprentice opportunities, local labour to be used and maximising of local spend. Please visit https://www.yortender.co.uk for further information.
