A MULTI-AGENCY PANEL SCREENED ALL 101 APPLICATIONS, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY WERE SUITABLE TO FUND AND THAT THEY SUPPORTED OLDER PEOPLE’S CHANGE FUND OUTCOMES WE RECRUITED AND SUPPORTED A TEAM OF FACILITATORS WE INVITED ORGANISATIONS WORKING WITH OLDER PEOPLE TO SIGN UP AS VOTING VENUES 4
DURING THE VOTING FORTNIGHT (EARLY OCTOBER 2013) OUR SEVEN FACILITATORS VISITED 40 VOTING VENUES ACROSS EDINBURGH. ACROSS THE FORTNIGHT 312 OLDER PEOPLE VOTED ON WHICH PROJECTS THEY WANTED TO SUPPORT. AT THE END OF EACH VISIT THE FACILITATORS PHONED OR EMAILED WITH THE NUMBERS OF VOTES CAST FOR EACH PROJECT BID DURING THAT PARTICULAR VISIT. THE CWC PROJECT TEAM GATHERED ALL THESE RESULTS, ENTERING THEM INTO A SPREADSHEET. THE PARTICIPANTS WERE KEY TO CWC. IT WAS THEY WHO MADE TIME TO LISTEN TO OUR FACILITATORS, TOOK CARE TO CONSIDER THE OPTIONS, ASSESSED THE ANONYMISED PROJECT IDEAS AND, THOUGHTFULLY, ‘SPENT’ THEIR VOTES WITH CARE AND CONSIDERATION. 5
