A number of local infrastructure organisations have received funding with which to improve their services.

The National Association for Voluntary and Community Action (Navca) has revealed the 12 bodies that will benefit from a share of Capacitybuilders” £25,000 Network Support Grants, aimed at helping support those working in the third sector as the downturn continues.

Among those receiving the cash are Learning South West, which is set to organise a conference for a local network of voluntary youth organisations, ThirdSector.co.uk reports.

"Local infrastructure organisations across the country are coming together to help their local organisations through the recession," Bill Freeman, director of development for Navca, states.

He adds that the investment will help such bodies to share ideas and develop solutions of how to work through the crisis, those looking to improve their skills framework may be interested to hear.

Earlier this week, Ian Leggett, director of People & Planet, told ThirdSector.co.uk that a £750,000 investment by the government would be effective in helping charities to campaign for marginalised communities.
