Description

Creative and forward thinking organisations are to undertake activities to organise community-based projects in the borough that will improve community cohesion in Tower Hamlets. The Council is looking for creative projects which will engage local people across different groups. Projects do not have to overtly be badged as community cohesion but their methodology should increase engagement and interaction between groups in such a way that increases understanding and connections. Projects should not shy away from facilitating conversations which at times may be 'difficult' and be prepared to face up to potentially controversial issues. The programme of activities will be split into 8 lots. Each lot will be for a fixed value, 4 lots for £27k each and 4 lots for £10k each, to deliver community cohesion activities. Bidders will able to submit tenders for one or more lots. Each lot will be to deliver a community cohesion project in a specific area of the borough.
