Project Development 2014 Continuing split sector support Targeted support for services at risk Targeted support for opportunities (e.g. Neighbourhood Planning, Asset Transfer) Work on tendering / procurement Greater emphasis on sustainability More work 

Funding Overview Funding Levels down in last four years by 25% approx. Capital – large and new build projects difficult to fund / match Revenue-core costs hard to fund, Submissions sharply up in 2013 – but overall quality is not improving!

Big Lottery Biggest Funder of projects and third sector in UK - £3bn since Reaching Communities - £10k - £500k Heritage Lottery /Arts Council /Sport England Big Lottery

Reaching Communities Two stages-Round1- 3 attempts at getting into Round 2 (20% success rate across region) Round2 – 45% chance of obtaining funding 99% rejected 1 st time round Best chance if under £300k/less then 5 years

Reaching Communities in Herefordshire out of 8 apps successful. Herefordshire IA – 3% of W.Mids total Total funding in £1.7m approx.(11% of W.Mids total- best performing region in Midlands) – MIND successful, 6 Projects through to final panels 2013

Awards For All Now split into four sections - Sport/Arts/Heritage/Community Grants £300-£10,000 No match requirement Money to be spent within 12 months Runs 52 weeks a year, 12 week turnaround Currently slightly undersubscribed-WM success rate 71%

Trust Funding Around 9,370 trusts in UK Reduction of approx 20% funding since 2008 Varying modes of application and levels of response – be patient! Various searches available – DSC/Grants Online/ NCVO/HC and HVOSS

Most Common Reasons For Failure of Projects Wrong Information submitted or wrong application-1 in 3 ineligible (DSC 2010)! Organisation or match funding issues Poor Budgeting or value for money Lack of supporting evidence or consultation BUT – still money for good projects…

The Future? More competition Gap in infrastructure funding Greater emphasis on sustainability More money for small community projects More joined-up/consortium working BUT… ALWAYS money for good projects
