Sandwell Holiday Bruch Club Programme Expression of Interest
Background:
Inthe UKtoday,around 3.6 millionpeople are living with Type 2 diabetes, with a further11.9 millionat increased risk of the condition. In addition to sight loss and nerve damage, diabetes can increase the risk of heart and circulatory disease. There areanestimated 7 millionpeople living with heart and circulatory disease inthe UKtoday, with many more at serious risk.
The Holiday Lunch Club Programme is aimed at people and most at risk communities (potential risk of Type 2 Diabetes and CVD) to increase their physical activity, eat more healthily and know more about the conditions. Holiday Lunch Clubs are the National Charity Partnership’s intensive support programme to be delivered in six key areas of the UK. These areas are Belfast, East London, North Lanarkshire, Nottingham, Rhondda Cynon Taf, and Sandwell.
The aim of Holiday Lunch Clubs is to provide a platform whereby participants are motivated and incentivised to improve their health behaviours in relation to physical activity and food consumption. The target audience for this prevention programme is mums aged 25-40 who are living in areas of high deprivation. Our secondary audience will be children and other family members who are welcome to attend the programme.
Sandwell Tendering opportunity:
We are currently looking for community based partners to deliver the Holiday Lunch Club Programmes in Sandwell between now and December 2017. Delivery centres need to be able to deliver a minimum of four eight half-day programmes per year. We would be particularly welcoming of centres able to run five plus programmes per year for the 21 month period. For Sandwell as a whole we are looking for partners to deliver a total of 50 eight half-day programmes over the programme across Sandwell.
Each programme will be expected to engage 12 mothers and approximately 24 children per session in food and physical activity related activities for the full eight day period. This may be scheduled across more than one holiday period. Delivery centres will be required to support pre-programme registration assessments- either in person, through a referral agency or online. There is an expectation that delivery partners will also support low-intensity post programme communication with participants which may include texts, emails, telephone calls and a one off drop-in session.
An outline budget guide to a maximum value per session is provided below:
Activity provider daily budget12 parents + 24 children / 36 x £6 per session x 7days
Resources / 36 x£1 x 7 days
12 parents + 24 children / catering 36 x £2.90 for snacks/drinks and lunch per session x 7 days
1 member of staff to support group to attend the Welly to Belly day run by Growing Opportunities at Salop Drive / £40
Total budget per eight day programme for 36 participants / £2849.8
Additional £9.90/person per day will be provided for each person over 36 to a maximum of 39. There is an expectation that a session will require at least 8 participant mothers between 25-40 to run.
An outline of the programme (in draft) to be delivered is detailed on the next pages. Not all days will need to be delivered consecutively or during morning sessions. Programmes based on the below format could run over afternoon/evening periods to suit community needs.
Please note that the Belly to Welly day is expected to be delivered by Growing Opportunities on a site named by them, but that programme delivery partners would be expected to support activities and participants through this day with a member of staff. The budget is based on Growing Opportunities providing resources and lunch for this day.
Community based organisations with suitable skills, capacity and venues are invited to submit the attached Expression on Interest forms by 25th February 2016. Please note the programme is looking to begin programme delivery during the Summer Half-Term holidays 2016. Delivery training would take place early May.
Sites will need to work with the central team to ensure opportunities for programme recruitment and sign-posting are maximised.
