Zero Waste Scotland is developing Scotland’s Circular Future Makers, a pilot programme designed to help 50 to 60 middle managers and mid-career professionals turn circular economy ambitions into practical business action.

Alongside delivering value for participating organisations, the programme will generate insight into the factors that enable or hinder circular economy adoption across Scottish businesses. Zero Waste Scotland is seeking early engagement with potential delivery partners to help shape the programme design and delivery model. We are interested in organisations, partnerships or consortia with expertise in circular economy practice, business transformation, facilitation, coaching, peer learning, practical experimentation, and impact evaluation, and who can work collaboratively with Zero Waste Scotland to develop and deliver this innovative pilot programme.

Multiple Disadvantage is defined as adults experiencing a combination of - homelessness, substance misuse, mental ill health, domestic abuse and contact with the criminal justice system.

Integrate existing GMCA Homelessness areas and programmes of delivery within the Enhanced Live Well offer There are a number of similar services and different providers supporting people experiencing homelessness, co-occurring conditions and multiple disadvantage operating across Greater Manchester Providers are expected to strategically collaborate with other providers of Inclusion Health support and identify opportunities to jointly support the workforce in line with Enhanced Live Well and integrated neighbourhood approaches across Greater Manchester. Providers are expected to take on a Lead Provider role for working collaboratively and building partnerships within this contract (Lot 1 - GP Primary Care and Lot 2 - Palliative Care Service) and within the wider Inclusion Health system across Greater Manchester The number of people supported by the service each year is reflected in professional caseload and number of referrals accepted to be taken forward for direct treatment and interventions.
