Decision

Bury Council commissioned the Bury VCFA to develop and facilitate the Bury Older People’s Network (BOPN) for three years from 01 September 2021 to 31 August 2024 at a contract value of £20k in total using the Grace Rigby Trust Fund (GRTF).

A fourth/ fifth year grant agreement is currently in place for Bury VCFA to continue with the development of the BOPN, but also to create a Bury Dementia Co-Production Network at a total cost of £27k per year from the GRTF.

The GRTF is a legacy fund from a Bury resident and must be used “for the benefit of the greatest number of elderly people in Bury”. There is currently £59,626.63
left in the Grace Rigby pot which is committed to these Networks only.
