Help your organisation grow with the Changing Futures Fund

Organisations in Worcestershire are being encouraged to come along to a launch event to find out more about funding that might be available to them.

As part of Worcestershire County Council's commitment to supporting the voluntary and community sector (VCS) to develop strong, sustainable organisations, the council has set aside a special fund of £750,000, called the Changing Futures Fund, to deliver a range of targeted support packages. The types of support packages include areas like human resources, financial planning, marketing and start up advice. 

Organisations are encouraged to book onto the Changing Futures Fund launch event to find out what help is available and meet the people that can provide it. The launch is being held at the University of Worcester on Wednesday 20 June and will be split into two sessions.

The first session, which will take place between 9.30am and 12noon is for those interested in setting up an organisation, such as a community group, or seeking to develop their established one. The second session will run from 1.30pm until 4pm and is for those who'd like to find out more about Commissioning and providing services for the County Council.

Suzy James, Worcestershire County Council's VCS Coordinator said: “We are keen to promote this Fund to voluntary organisations and community groups in Worcestershire, if anyone is interested in getting help with developing a new or existing organisation please come along to this event and find out more."

To book your place on either of the Changing Futures Fund launch sessions contact Gail Wills on 01905 766864 or email gwills@worcestershire.gov.uk by Wednesday 13 June.
