Third sector groups invited to apply for community talent funding
Those working in the third sector are being invited to form links with network partners in a bid to help unlock talent within local communities.
In a multimillion pound scheme unveiled by community secretary Hazel Blears, charities are being called on to join forces with their local authority and secondary school establishments - as well as nearby businesses, youth service providers and the wider community - to raise the aspirations of young people.
The project will look to invest in locally conceived and delivered projects which encourage wider communities to support talented young people in their area.
Known as Inspiring Communities, the initiative is worth £10 million.
Ms Blears states: "The communities where young people live should not hold them back; they should be the source of inspiration and practical support that will help them to achieve."
In other news, the Cabinet Office recently revealed that it is to offers grants worth a total of £750,000 to small third sector organisations to assist with their campaigning work.
