Description

Valuing People Each year the Learning Difficulties Partnership Board invites individuals, groups and organisations to apply for funding to take forward projects and initiatives to make Valuing People Now happen in South Gloucestershire. The main aims of Valuing People Now are that people with learning difficulties: • Personalisation - are able to plan and get the life they want • Have a life including: - better health and wellbeing - greater access housing and support - improved education, employment accessibility - greater employment opportunities and greater access to paid work - relationships and having a family • Are treated as equal citizens and: - have access to good advocacy - are able to use public transport easily - lead their lives safely - have access to leisure activities • That it works for all people with learning difficulties For this year's Development Fund, South Gloucestershire LDPB is particularly interested in hearing from organizations that will be supporting individuals with Learning Difficulties in the following areas: • Education, Employment and Training • Health and Wellbeing • Housing and Support • Independence and the community • Friends and Family Equalities We are particularly interested in receiving applications from organisations with robust equality and diversity practices in place. We would like to know how your project will go about being inclusive of a wide diversity of people, such as people from minority ethnic heritage, people from LGBTQ+ communities, people from diverse age groups etc. We welcome hearing all your ideas about how you will go about achieving this - you may wish to include information on such matters as how you plan to advertise and recruit to your project and how you will record and provide data to demonstrate the extent to which you have been successful in engaging with a wide diversity of people. Funding received from the LDDF is usually provided to organisations supporting young people or adults (16+) in their lives as this is the focus of the Learning Difficulties Partnership Board. Information on current and previously funded projects by the LDPB can be found here - https://www.southglos.gov.uk/community-and-living/grants/learning-difficulties-d... We would expect the projects that are being submitted for the LDDF grant to have already made some connections in South Gloucestershire and have plans in place to start the project from the funding start date or as soon as after.
