Charity struggles to find funding for rent, electricity, salaries to apply for grants/service management board etc. Projects want new work with limited core costs.
Complex tender processes becoming more common - very difficult for small groups.
Funders expecting you to use reserves - making organisation vulnerable.
Lack of funding for community groups.
eg. too much time chasing grants
eg. lack of Trusts willing to fund core costs/staffing
eg. statutory sector offloading clients onto voluntary sector without funding
eg lack of clarity on who CCG decision makers are regarding funding
eg. CCG moving funding goalposts
eg. rural communities smaller numbers of people
Idea - central commercial contract team available to voluntary sector to provide expertise for tenders.
Funding for contingencies/emergency. Flexible use accountability.
Funding - obtaining for specific projects
Funding for people with mild to moderate eating disorders in Norfolk. Adult funding from NHS due to stop April 2015. No funding for under 18s.
Core cost funding - to fund individual organisation's infrastructure
Further funding of a community gym?
