 Big Lottery Fund launches Young People’s Fund 2
Local Grants Programme
Aims: The Young People’s Fund 2 (YPF2) Local Grants programme
wants to support projects that put young people at the heart of
planning, developing and running local activities and services that can
improve their lives. It’s the chance for young people to lead on
developing the activities and services that they want in their local
area. The programme has two aims:
-
To ensure that all organisations that
provide services to young people, involve them in developing, running
and reviewing policies and services.
-
To help achieve the five Every Child
Matters outcomes.
Who for?
Voluntary and community sector groups can work alone
or in partnership with other organisations, companies and local
authorities. The programme is focussed on changing the lives of young
people aged 10 –18. Projects working with young people up to the age of
25 will also be supported if they are finding the change to independent
living difficult. Young people involvement is at the heart of the YPF 2
Local Grants programme. This programme will only consider projects that
are youth led.
How much? Grants of between
£10,000 and £500,000 are available for initiatives that address the
needs of vulnerable young people across England.
One hundred grants will be awarded across England. To help organisations
that want to better involve young people in the planning and running of
their projects BIG has appointed Participation Works Consortium which
has developed a range of advice and information services that can be
accessed free of charge.

Futurebuilders launches new Tender Fund
Futurebuilders England today launched a new interest-free loan fund for
third sector organisations struggling to meet the cost of tendering for
public sector contracts. The £1m Tender Fund is intended to help third
sector providers win contracts where prohibitive tendering costs would
otherwise make it difficult for them to bid.
Jonathan Lewis, Chief Executive of Futurebuilders England said: 'We know
there are organisations with the skills to bid for and win public sector
contracts who simply can’t afford the costs involved in preparing
competitive bids. Our conversations with the sector tell us that
providers often need money to fund tendering related costs such as legal
bills, financial expertise, staffing backfill and advice from
procurement specialists. We are determined to get as many third sector
organisations as possible winning contracts to deliver public services,
and we feel this new Fund is one way we can help.'
Amount: The new Tender Fund will provide interest-free three year
loans of between £3,000 and £50,000. This will help organisations who
simply need a smaller sum of money to get them through the tendering
stage.
For further information: Call 0191 261 5200 or email
info@futurebuilders-england.org.uk
Closing date: There is no closing date for applications, and the
Fund will be available on a first come, first served basis until the £1m
runs out.
