Support for Funding Advice Network
Howard Lake | 10 September 2007 | News
The Finance Hub has commissioned a national partnership to carry out a feasibility study into setting up a Funding Advice National Network (FANN) in England.
The partnership is led by fit4funding and includes Funding Information North East, South Yorkshire Funding Advice Bureau, Wiltshire CIB, NAVCA and the Institute of Fundraising.
The case for a national network to support advisers came via a report by Sheffield Hallam University in 2006 for the Finance Hub. Research found a substantial level of activity through Funding Advisers Networks (FANs) across England. Most respondents were in favour of creating a national network.
There will now be a feasibility study with over 42 networks expected to take part as well as a wide range of third sector organisations.
