Futurebuilders funded groups win over £7m in contracts
Those operating in the third sector won more than £7 million in public sector contracts following investment from Futurebuilders England, it has emerged.
Research released by the organisation revealed that some 44 public service deals - worth over £7.7 million - were secured by groups it had provided financial assistance to between April 1st and June 30th.
Among the voluntary and charitable institutions, Futurebuilders revealed it had helped include the North Liverpool Citizen’’s Advice Bureau and Dormers Well Trust.
Jonathan Lewis, chief executive of Futurebuilders England, claimed to be "encouraged" by the amount of third sector groups which have won contracts following financial assistance from the organisation.
He added: "It is our goal to get as many different types of third sector organisations as possible winning as many different types of contracts as possible."
Following on from such monetary assistance it may be possible that charities are able to improve the skills framework of their organisations.
In other news, the National Association for Voluntary and Community Action recently revealed it is to receive grants of £424,000 from the Office of the Third Sector both in 2009-10 and 2010-11.
