£30m fund launched by Cabinet Office to help local charity support services
The beneficiaries of a new £30 million fund to help transform and modernise local charity support services have been announced on 2 February 2012 by Nick Hurd, Minister for Civil Society.
More than seventy partnerships of local support and development organisations across England have received grants to transform their services and provide high quality, joined up support to frontline charities. These projects will also make it easier for organisations to forge better links with local businesses, develop stronger partnerships with local public sector bodies and for people to volunteer.
Minister for Civil Society Nick Hurd said: “This fund is not designed to support 'business as usual' - it's about making things better for the frontline. It's about supporting organisations with innovative business plans who want to play their part in modernising the landscape of local infrastructure.”
He continues:, "One of our main priorities is making it easier to run a charity. We will ensure that we back the highest quality infrastructure support so that charities get guidance which is local, relevant and enables them to improve their service delivery.”
The Transforming Local Infrastructure Fund is being managed by Big Fund, the non-lottery funding operation of the Big Lottery Fund. See the Big Lottery's list of successful organisations.
