We will be inviting applicants to put forward a bid for a ward-based community engagement project that:

• Targets the six priority wards in Leeds
• Develops new ways of engaging with people and advises on how we can make better use of the information that services and partners collect
• Consults with and collects information regarding how residents feel about where they live and identifies opportunities for them to play an active role in their community

The successful applicant will be expected to identify examples of best practices of engagement and provide recommendations for future approaches; including conducting an additional annual survey before the end of the project.

If your organisation is interested in applying for funding, then please do not delay in submitting your application to join the Dynamic Purchasing System. You need to be registered for this, under the new ‘Communities & Place’ category in order to access the call documents.
