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.

At each conference the Home Office Active Communities Directorate will be discussing
the implications of these developments for charities in receipt of statutory funding.
They will be joined by senior staff from the Big Lottery Fund who will report on
the introduction of new funding programmes.
