The grant holders are 12 partnerships in 12 different localities in England involving a combination of statutory and VCS organisations. The Fund is seeking to support these grant holders with the development of robust programme strategies, sustainability strategies, budgets and implementations plans which will be submitted to the Fund at the end of February 2016. The Fund will make decisions on further funding in phase 3 of the programme based (in part) on the strength of a partnerships’ programme strategy and plans. Following Phase 3 funding decisions (likely to be in May 2016) the service provider will continue to support successful partnerships with the transition into implementation of their respective strategies. The service provider will also support unsuccessful partnerships (if any) to consolidate the learning and explore opportunities for a ‘partial’ continuation of their programmes. The tender deadline is 12 noon on 7th September 2015.
