GMCVO are seeking applications from voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) organisations, working in Greater Manchester, for the benefit of Greater Manchester residents, to encourage a change in the narrative around disability by improving accessibility and inclusion for d/Deaf and disabled people.
GMCVO expect to fund around six organisations with grants of between £7,500 - £15,000 to develop 9-12 month projects that will raise awareness of, and lead to change in the way that services, policies, practices, activities and events are created for d/Deaf and disabled people.
GMCVO are asking applicants to provide proposals for innovative projects that will encourage, embed or increase good practice around:
- Listening to d/Deaf and/or disabled people and including them in the co-creation of services, policies, practices, events and activities
- Joining up services so support is offered holistically, ensuring it is tailored to the need and preferences of the individual
- Removing a ‘one size fits all’ approaches
- Improving support for d/Deaf and/or disabled people wanting to take on volunteering opportunities
D/deaf and/or disabled people must be involved in all stages of the development and delivery of projects.
Deadline: 12 August 2024, 12pm
