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.
