Description

The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham is commissioning an Extra Care Service for older residents in Barking and Dagenham.

We want our Extra Care schemes to be a part of an engaging and lively community in Barking and Dagenham, delivered by an experienced Extra Care provider, with activities that are directed by, and co-produced with the residents who live there. We would like the service to work closely with the community and voluntary sector and link in with facilities and organisations in the Borough and ensure that schemes have robust connections to their locality and make maximum use of the resources available
