Award of Inter-Generational Skills Project to IIIN Community CIC by Liverpool City Council

About

Liverpool City Council awarded a contract to IIIN Community CIC for the Inter-Generational Skills Project, aimed at providing meaningful social roles for children, parents, and older adults while encouraging the transmission of knowledge and skills across generations.

The project seeks to empower residents and communities to take a more active role in improving their neighbourhood, enabling early intervention and prevention, and reducing loneliness and isolation.

Sessions are designed to encourage children and families to be more resourceful, counteracting the 'throwaway culture'.

The project assists Liverpool City Council in meeting the requirements of the Social Value Act 2012, which requires public bodies to have due regard to economic, social, and environmental wellbeing in connection with public service contracts.

Objectives include improving children's social and emotional development, forging strong school/parent partnerships, boosting children's listening and attention, receptive language, and social communication, improving school readiness, empowering older adults to take an active part in their local community, and improving community cohesion and mutual respect.

The contract value is £70,890.
