Alongside the PreBudget Report yesterday, the first tranche of the £80 million investment by the government in England's voluntary and community sector infrastructure was announced. £6.25 million is to be allocated to support two themes:
- Development work, to improve capacity and communications in areas with very little or no voluntary and community sector infrastructure.
- "Exemplar" work, both nationally and locally, to develop ideas and proposals on building and sharing good practice, delivering support services in new and innovative ways, and redesigning the way services are delivered to improve sustainability, efficiency and effectiveness.
