Social Isolation and Older Men - Invitation to Tender

Age Partnership Belfast is a collaborative initiative between Volunteer Now, Engage with Age and North Belfast Senior Citizens' Forum.  It supports a significant number of volunteer-led older persons' groups and forums across Belfast, as well as delivering a wide range of programmes which encourage older people to remain active, engaged with their communities, and central to influencing how services are delivered for them.  One of the key areas of work is addressing social isolation among men aged 50+.  The Partnership has established a Men’s Working Group which would like to commission a review of the extent and impact of current community, voluntary, statutory or private sector services aimed at combating social isolation among men aged 50+ in the Belfast area.  Tender information can be downloaded at www.volunteernow.co.uk/fs/doc/publications/men-50-research-tender.pdf and the closing date for receipt of proposals is 4.00pm on Thursday 12th December 2013.  For further information, contact Frank Johnston at Email: This email address is being protected from spambots.
