Voluntary and community organisations awarded 拢60 million grant
The Dfe announces the successful organisations receiving voluntary and community sector grants totalling 拢60 million.
The Department for Education today announced the voluntary organisations that have been successful in their bid for funding from the Department바카라 사이트檚 Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) grant worth around 拢60 million each year.
Over the next two years, the VCS organisations awarded grants today will play a significant role in reforming and delivering services for children, young people, parents and families.
At the launch of the bidding prospectus for the VCS grant in November 2010, the 바카라 사이트 set out criteria to directly fund, at national level, voluntary and community organisations that work with children, young people, parents and families, with a particular emphasis on early intervention and tackling the needs of the most disadvantaged groups.
The VCS grant has been allocated according to services offered under specific grant themes, these are:
- Families and Relationship support
- Early Years and Childcare
- Child Protection and Safeguarding
- Young People
- Children in Care
- Special Educational Needs and Disability
In addition 바카라 사이트楽trategic Partner바카라 사이트� grants have been established to ensure 바카라 사이트 gets advice about issues affecting VCS organisations and to help capacity building of the sector through transition, in particular smaller organisations. The themes for strategic partner grants are
- Family Services
- Young People
- SEN and Disability
- Early Years and Childcare
- Overarching
Following a competitive process, the successful VCS organisations have been notified of the indicative amount of grant they will receive, which is subject to negotiation, and the service the 바카라 사이트 wishes them to deliver.
There will be around 拢6 million available from the 拢60 million for successful bidders to receive extra help and support to build extra capacity, so that they are in good shape to remain sustainable long after this two year grant comes to an end.
The Grant aims to help create
- a vigorous and responsive sector, freed up from dependency on grant-based funding and better equipped to operate within a payments by results environment
- organisations which are efficient, effective and sustainable - 바카라 사이트渃ommissioning ready바카라 사이트� - funded through grants and contracts to provide services for LAs (and others)
- innovative approaches which will lever in private investment.
Through the localism bill, 바카라 사이트 is opening up markets to enable the voluntary sector to play a bigger role in delivering key services such as children바카라 사이트檚 centres and youth services - and we will work with local authorities to ensure that they commission services from the sector.
Children바카라 사이트檚 Minister Tim Loughton said:
The 바카라 사이트 is committed to supporting voluntary and community sector (VCS) organisations to have a much greater involvement in the running of public services.
The VCS is central to our commitment to building a Big Society. This is demonstrated by today바카라 사이트檚 announcement of around 拢60m each year for the next two years for VCS organisations. This is a significant investment in a tough financial climate, and is only one aspect of the funding we will route through the voluntary and community sector.
The voluntary sector plays, and will continue to play, a significant role in reforming services for children, young people and families. I hope this grant further inspires a responsive and determined sector to do even more to improve outcomes for children, young people, parents and families.
Notes to editors
- This grant is part of a wider range of DfE funding opportunities. A number of contracted services will be procured through separate formal tender processes and there are likely to be other funding opportunities as a result of developing policies e.g. the forthcoming SEN and Disability Green Paper. In addition to central government funding available on a national basis, the Department continues to fund the voluntary and community sector indirectly through local authorities and for services which are commissioned by schools.
- While the VCS cannot be immune from reductions in public expenditure, the Spending Review announced that 바카라 사이트 will direct around 拢470 million over the SR period to support capacity building in the sector, including an endowment fund to assist local voluntary and community organisations. As part of this, the 바카라 사이트 will provide funds to pilot the National Citizen Service and establish a Transition Fund of 拢100 million to provide short term support for voluntary sector organisations providing public services. The sector will also be able to access funding from the Big Society Bank, which will bring in private sector funding in addition to receiving all funding available to England from dormant accounts. The Big Society bank will start operating in April with up to 拢100m of the 拢400m from dormant accounts being made available this year. High street banks are going to lend it another 拢200m on commercial terms.
- The Funding amounts are indicative. Year 1 funding is dependent on successful negotiations on detail of the grants. Year two amounts are dependent on successful delivery of agreed outcomes.
