4. About this project Delivered on behalf of Bradford Adult and Community Services Supported by Working Neighbourhoods Fund Between now and April, offer support to third sector organisations as they look to develop services for older people Social Business Brokers CIC
5. Paul Burstow Care Services Minister “This will open doors for third sector bodies, both in providing services directly, and also playing a vital role in advocacy and brokerage. But this is a two-way street. Just as public sector organisations are being challenged to raise standards and cut costs, so charities and voluntary organisations will need to adapt. You will need to show your mettle. Demonstrate real success in improving outcomes and changing lives.” Social Business Brokers CIC
6. What we will do Workshops Working groups based on key opportunities One to one support General awareness raising If people want to work out what Personalisation means for their organisation and the people they serve, we’ll do all we can to help Social Business Brokers CIC
8. Where are the opportunities? It’s bigger than the Personalisation Agenda! Ageing has been identified as a ‘megatrend’ and is being used by some companies to develop new profitable products and services Use the group sessions to think as broadly as possible about what older people in Bradford want, where are there currently unmet needs? Social Business Brokers CIC
9. Developing key themes Choose two opportunities which are of interest to your organisation (there may be more - but choose two for now) Join the group to talk more about this opportunity (need suggested discussion points here) 15 minutes - then we’ll move on to the next one Social Business Brokers CIC
10. Discussion Points Discuss detail of where the social enterprise opportunities may be What need to be done to go from ideas stage to service delivery Consider opportunities for charging and other ways to generate income What key challenges will need to be overcome Social Business Brokers CIC
