Futurebuilders
£125 million investment fund for the voluntary and community sector. 250 investments will be made in the form of loans, grants and capacity building. The reasoning behind the fund is that not enough capital investment is made in the voluntary and community sector and this is an innovative way of introducing this money. Voluntary and community groups must be prepared to take a loan and it is intended that it should be repaid through the secural of an agreement with a public sector agency for the delivery of services. There are five areas of service delivery that are applicable for funding: community cohesion; crime; education and learning; health and social care; and support for children and young people.
