Government grant commended
A recently-announced government fund has been commended by those working in the third sector.
In a grant worth a total of £750,000, charities will receive cash to help support innovative campaigning methods which look to support those from marginalised sections of society.
Something that may be likely to improve the skills framework of numerous organisations, Ian Leggett, director of People & Planet, tells ThirdSector.co.uk that the fund is a "really good investment in impact and effectiveness".
However, Mr Leggett points out that traditional face-to-face contact will still be required in order to engage with such communities.
Jenny Willott, third sector spokesperson for the Liberal Democrats, states: "It is fundamental to a vibrant democratic society that organisations can speak up for its more vulnerable members and push for political change."
Earlier this month, charities were invited to apply - along with local councils and secondary schools - for grants to help raise aspirations among young people in their communities.
