Funding for our communities
One of the ways that we invest in communities is through grants to groups and organisations. These often provide valuable support to our residents at a time of need or crisis. Recently we've seen an increased need for services such as Citizen’s Advice Lincolnshire. This is due to the impact the pandemic has had on our economy and individuals’ abilities to either sustain existing employment or secure new opportunities.
Through this community strategy we will review the effectiveness of our current approach:
- We want to look at how funding to voluntary sector infrastructure bodies is used across the UK to identify opportunities to:
- learn from best practice
- deliver better outcomes for our communities
- we will engage nationally and aim to attract more money into Lincolnshire. We will look for opportunities to target funds to those most in need and achieve the maximum impact
- we will work with groups to ensure that they are aware of:
- the funding that is available to them from others
- help that is available on how to secure additional financial support to further their ambitions
We will continue to provide advice and guidance to community groups.
