Climate FORTH Invitation to Quote: Design of a Community Heritage Group Training & Mentoring Programme

As part of the Inner Forth Futures' Climate FORTH (Furthering Our Resilience Through Heritage) project, RSPB Scotland, on behalf of Inner Forth Futures, wishes to commission a consultant or agency to design a Community Heritage Group Training & Mentoring Programme.

The Community Heritage Group Training & Mentoring programme will sit as part of a wider suite of Climate FORTH activities that aims to enable communities around the Inner Forth to make more of heritage assets and increase the climate resilience of both heritage and communities. The programme is aimed at people or groups who own and/or manage assets or want to manage an asset but who do not have skills or confidence yet. This piece of work will identify training and mentoring opportunities to give individuals and groups the skills, confidence and capacity to make the most of heritage assets. It will also develop a training and mentoring plan to increase community awareness and skills and aid them in identifying and addressing maintenance issues related to heritage.

This contract will involve working closely with the Climate FORTH Project Officer for Community and Youth Development and other members of the Climate FORTH team and IFF partnership as needed, building on their understanding of the project and its activities. It is critical that the programme developed is realistic in its scope and resource requirements and is owned by the Climate FORTH team and wider IFF partnership. The successful candidate should demonstrate previous experience in similar work. The Community Heritage Group Training & Mentoring Programme plan will be submitted as part of a Stage 2 bid to the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The value of the work will be up to £5,000 excluding VAT. The works will occur in July and August 2022.
