This partnership project, running until end of August 2023, will see CMN establish strong local partnerships to address issues of social inequality and worklessness as part of wider strategies for place-based regeneration. CMN will work with local user-led organisations and local communities and individuals to co-design a range of local approaches and interventions to improve mental health and wellbeing and access to employment, with the aim to address the needs of individuals who face multiple barriers to employment including mental and physical ill health and disabilities, history of economic inactivity, carer responsibilities, difficult family relationships, etc. To this aim, CMN is looking to deliver a programme of regular blue health interventions taking place in the Falmouth / Penryn area (Cornwall) over the next 2 years, working with freelancers and local charities and companies to offer a wide range of easily accessible activities, all contributing to improving the connection between local communities and the sea. Blue Health refers to the therapeutic benefits of spending time in or by blue spaces including the sea, rivers, waterfront parks, harbours and marinas. Significantly, existing research highlights a positive impact on mental health and wellbeing, including greater connectedness with nature, with greater benefits when time spent in the outdoors is combined with social interactions. CMN aims to harness these benefits to decrease participants' anxiety, improve their confidence, health and well-being, as well as their knowledge of the breadth of economic, volunteering and recreational opportunities available in the local marine sector. Eligible project participants will be aged 18 to 65 and will be unemployed or economically inactive. ### About this Tender In order to effectively respond to the needs to project participants and offer them the opportunity to try out a wide range of blue health interventions, a framework of suitably qualified freelancers, charities and businesses is being set up. This tender document outlines the areas of delivery that are required and CMN is encouraging relevant local freelancers and organisations to submit proposals to be considered for inclusion on the framework. The intention is for this framework to offer a wide range of blue health activities. It will therefore be reviewed every 6 months, and when felt appropriate will be opened to new providers to apply to join. The intention is that CMN will identify the project participants. However, successful providers will be invited to actively promote their delivery as part of the project and refer eligible participants to CMN. Additional information: Submission Requirements: Any questions or points of clarification to be directed by email to by Wednesday 16th February 2022 Please submit the proposal template by email, post or in person by 12pm on Thursday 3rd March 2022 Proposals must be submitted through full completion of the attached template.
