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.
