Funding
Full cost recovery. Minimum 3 year contracts. Statutory funders need to align their application and reporting processes.
Cost of backroom services and premises could be shared by co-location.
Volunteers needed for all ops need funded support/recruitment to get volunteers.
Lack of funding and lack of volunteers to pick up work.
Need for funding by the community group to be able to progress re item 1. [NB Item is listed as a separate issue - to progress with obtaining land upon which there was an item of heritage for the parish]
Funding pots are often £2000 or £5000 max. When looking for £60,000 needs a lot of applications.
Funders changing the goalposts after contract has been agreed - CCGs becoming increasingly bullish.
