Charities ”to receive campaigning grant cash”
Those working in the third sector could be set to receive a boost with regards to their political campaigning work.
In news that could be of interest to those looking to improve their skills framework, the Cabinet Office will offer grants worth a total of £750,000 to small charities and community groups working with vulnerable people to help promote their campaigning efforts, ThirdSector.co.uk reports.
Up to 30 organisations will be able to receive grants - which will be offered over a two-year period and administered by Capacitybuilders - reveals Liam Byrne, cabinet office minister.
Although he claims that third sector groups have never had a stronger voice, the grant will help small organisations develop innovative ways to help vulnerable people make their views heard.
Speaking on Radio 4′’s Today programme, Mr Byrne asserts: "We are calling for ideas from those organisations representing people who don”t get heard in mainstream political debate - smaller charities working perhaps with people with learning disabilities or with disaffected young people."
Earlier this month, Jude Habib - director of media production and training company Sound Delivery - told ThirdSector.co.uk that it is a personal touch which can make a charity campaign a success.
