Fw: Blackpool Council Youth Fund

HI folks,

 

Blackpool Council Youth fund are seeking applications for the 2013/14 funding year. The priorities are to

• Tackle child poverty, raise aspirations and improve educational achievement 

• Safeguard and protect the most vulnerable 

• Expand and promote our tourism, arts, heritage and cultural offer 

• Improve health and well-being especially for the most disadvantaged  3

• Attract sustainable investment and create quality jobs 

• Encourage responsible entrepreneurship for the benefit of our communities 

• Improve housing standards and the environment we live in by using housing

investment to create stable communities 

• Create safer communities and reduce crime and anti-social behaviour 

• Deliver quality services through a professional, well-rewarded and

motivated workforce 

and there is up to £250,000 available.

 

ONE Blackpool have indicated that they would be looking for co-ordinated approach to this work and 'Greater Together' a consortium of agencies delivering children and young people's work across the geographic county of Lancashire are putting a bid together. I have expressed an interest in that bid in order to hold a place at the table.

 

If any church wishes to be involved in the work could they please get in touch with me so that we can discuss the best way forward. This would not preclude a church submitting their own bid; but please be aware that the closing date is 29^th February 2013 with a decision by May.

 

Hope to hear from you soon

 

Blessings
