1. Background 1.1 The NHS Five Year Forward View, published in October 2014, sets out how the health service needs to change, arguing for a more engaged relationship with patients and communities: It set out a number of commitments towards getting serious about prevention, empowering people in their own health and care and in engaging communities in activities such as volunteering. 1.2 These individual commitments are now being taken forward through initiatives such as: Realising the Value: which aims to identify evidence based approaches to support people and communities to manage their own health and care and develop tools to support implementation; and Active Communities: which aims to unlock the power of people as volunteers to support the health and care system. 1.3 The Five Year Forward View, however, also articulates a vision for health and care as a social movement. Collectively and cumulatively [these actions] and others like them will help shift power to patients and citizens, strengthen communities, improve health and wellbeing, and as a byproduct help moderate rising demands on the NHS. 1.4 To harness this collective vision, NHS England is launching a new three year programme to support social movements in health and care.

2. Objectives 2.1 Working initially with 4-6 local health and care communities across England, this programme will aim to identify, test and spread effective ways of mobilising people in social movements that improve health and care outcomes and show a positive return on investment. 2.2 The programme, over a three year period, will aim to achieve the following objectives: Identify and develop exemplar social movements creating real-world examples of communities mobilised for health and care; Demonstrate what works using rigorous evaluation approaches; and Support spread enabling local areas to develop approaches that could be scaled or adapted and adopted in other communities. 2.3 We envisage that the local social movement work will span the areas outlined in the Five Year Forward View: Getting serious about prevention; Empowering people in their own health and care; and Engaging communities through actions such as volunteering.

3. Outputs 3.1 This programme will aim to achieve the following outputs over the three year period, with progress made towards Outputs I and II by March 2016. The overall programme outputs together with timescales for achieving these are: Outputs I and II by 2016: I. Social movements identified and developed across area, coproduced with local health and care communities, including plans for sustaining the approaches over time; II. Evaluation framework, including metrics and rigorous methods to demonstrate what works to improve health and care outcomes and show a positive return on investment; Outputs III to V by [December 2018]: III. IV. Creative tools to support the adoption and spread of effective approaches beyond participating sites; Final report and evaluation of each site, demonstrating real world examples of communities mobilised for health and care; and V. National and regional events and dissemination platforms via presentations, facilitated learning networks, training and other innovative routes. 3.2 The Outputs need to be usable and presented in plain English, so materials can be reused without alteration. The format of these will be developed in discussion with NHS England during the course of the project.

4. Bidding 4.1 NHS England is making Transformation Funding available to support this work of up to 750,000 in total in Year 1 (2015/16), with future funding for Year 2 (2016/17) and Year 3 (2017/18), subject to availability and approval by NHS England. Year 1 (2015/16) funding 4.2 NHS England is seeking applications from a national partner (s) to provide the overarching learning, development, support and evaluation. It is expected that this component will receive a grant of up to 200,000 of the total Year 1 allocation. 4.3 NHS England is also inviting expressions of interest from new care model vanguards, who can demonstrate their readiness and maturity of local partnership, to access resource that can increase their focus and support for local movements to build and connect and to act as hub sites to support the spread of learning beyond their localities. It is expected that areas can receive from 50,000-100,000 of the Transformation Funding allocation to develop and embed their social movement. 4.4 The national partner(s) would be expected to enter into a grant funding agreement for up to 3 years, with funding agreed for Year 1 (2015/2016). The funding allocated through this grant agreement may cover up to two further [financial years]: Year 2 (2016/17) and Year 3 (2017/18). However, only the amount stated for Year 1 (2015/2016) (as mentioned above) is confirmed as payable (subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the grant agreement). Payment of the amounts for these two further is subject to change and dependent on confirmation by NHS England. 4.5 Organisations or partnerships wishing to apply for the national role will need to share NHS England s key aims in this work. The key aims for NHS England, in making this grant available are that, NHS England wishes to invest in partners who are working in this field, and seeking to increase social value with their work. NHS England particularly seeks partners who can co-produce this work, bringing experience and innovation to this project, to help achieve shared aims of building the capabilities of individuals and communities in managing their own health and care, with all the attendant benefits to individual, society and the NHS. 4.6 The partners involved will be expected to work together to agree an approach and to collaborate closely with NHS England on this programme.

5. Governance and Reporting 5.1 The Senior Responsible Owner/SRO and executive of this programme will be the Director of Patient and Public Voice & Information. 5.2 In delivery of the Outputs (described in Section 3 above) the national and local partners will work closely with NHS England s Patients & Information Directorate and with identified overall and programme-specific leads. 5.3 The national and local partners will provide regular headline updates on progress towards completion (to a template agreed with NHS England) and attend regular meetings (to be agreed).. 6. Timescale 6.1 The work is planned to commence in January 2016 and will run for the course of the financial year, and then will continue for up to three years, subject to further funding being agreed by NHS England. [If funding is available and agreed] There will be an interim key milestone in Spring 2016 when there will be a review discussion with NHS England on the direction of the work and detailed plans for delivering the work in Years 2 (2016/2017) and 3 (2017/2018). There is considerable interplay between the key outputs, and the partner(s) will need to ensure that these are delivered to a timetable which enables co-production and review. 6.2 The timeframe should still be discussed further in organisations presentations, which should propose indicative timescales for interim milestones and completion of the project.

7. Skills and Experience 7.1 The national partner will need to demonstrate skills and experience in the following areas: experience in developing, delivering and testing social movements in health and care, grounded in co-production with local communities, including those who experience most disadvantage; experience in evaluation and use of rigorous methods to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of social movements on health and care outcomes and changes in behaviour and attitudes; experience in developing innovative tools/training to support adoption and spread of successful interventions; proven track record of working across local health and care systems with all interested parties including providers, commissioners, workforce, patients and local communities; experience in leading and supporting complex national programmes; and strong track record of working across England, covering the full diversity of communities and settings. 7.2 The local partners will need to demonstrate enthusiasm and willingness to participate in the programme. In particular, we will be looking for partners who already have a track record of co-producing social movements in health and care with their local community, with a level of demonstrable impact and the ability to work collaboratively and support spread of good practice beyond their localities. 8.
