Better Start Funding Map

One Blackpool have asked me if we can help them collect information in respect of this new programme as to what churches are doing in terms of support to improve life chances for babies and young children. 

If your organisation / church is delivering funded work with 0-3 year olds in Blackpool please contact Duncan Hodgson on 01253 362693 or email duncan.hodgson@oneblackpool.coop to request a funding map questionnaire to feed into the bid development process.

As you may be aware, Blackpool is one of 15 local authorities which have been invited to progress to the next stage of Big Lottery's Fulfilling Lives: Better Start programme. The programme aims to deliver a step change in preventative approaches in pregancy and the first three years of life to improve life chances for babies and young children. If successful Blackpool will receive between £30 and £50 million in funding over 8 to 10 years.

The Better Start Partnership has been formed to develop the bid submission and includes Blackpool Council, The NSPCC, One Blackpool and Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.

As part of the development of the next stage of the bid the partnership are seeking to map funding currently being given to organisations to support work with 0-3 year olds and would like to hear from you if your organisation is in receipt of funds for this type of work.

If your organisation is delivering funded work with 0-3 year olds in Blackpool please contact Duncan Hodgson on 01253 362693 or email duncan.hodgson@oneblackpool.coop to request a funding map questionnaire to feed into the bid development process.

Thanks

Duncan
