Description

PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND ACTIVITY PLANNING
INTRODUCTION
Clare Castle Country Park Trust is seeking the services of consultants who can Project Manage and/or develop the Activity Plan during the Development Phase of this exciting and unusual project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Consultants are asked to express their interest in either one, or both, of these roles.
The Trustees have a wide range of experience and are supported by a considerable number of regular volunteers (over 60), many of whom have considerable expertise in particular fields that are relevant to this project.
The small town of Clare in Suffolk is a thriving place, steeped in history. It is made all the more attractive by the historic Park that adjoins it. The Park has undergone many changes in recent years, which has resulted in neglect and a lack of identity and direction. With new ownership and leadership in place since 2015, this project will mark a new era that sees the Park and Town being more closely integrated. An extensive programme of conservation work is required to preserve and bring to life the Park's heritage assets. However, this project is essentially about people and the community and their connections with this historic site.
OUTCOME
The key points set out in the six bullet points under the heading 'Keeping in Touch' (Heritage Lottery Fund letter of 4th October) must be met in order that the second round bid can be submitted by 30th November.
