Fundraising consultancy Action Planning is to hold five funding conferences in June and July offering more information on this week’s announcements by the Home Office on Compact Plus, kite marks, and the expansion of Futurebuilders, together with new developments at the Big Lottery Fund.
The Funding Roadshow will be held in London on 15 June, Bristol on 27 June, Leeds on 4 July, Birmingham on 6 July, and Peterborough on 11 July 2005.
The roadshow will cover the major new changes to statutory funding including the introduction of ‘Compact Plus’ (a proposed opt-in scheme to simplify contracting relationships), ‘Capacity Builders’ (a new sector-led agency to manage the ChangeUp fund), a proposed ‘kite mark’ for public sector funders and charities delivering public services, and additional funding of £70 million for ChangeUp and £90 million for Futurebuilders.
