Nottingham City Council are reviewing their voluntary and community sector Grant Aid process (formerly the Voluntary Sector Investment Programme – VSIP) to ensure it better meets the needs of the voluntary and community sector. We are all being asked for our views on planned changes to the programme.
The consultation runs until 4th July 2008 so make sure you have your say! The City Council is holding consultation events across the city – details of which are available at http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/grant-aid-review
Whether yours is a new emerging group, grassroots organisation or an infrastructure agency you need to tell the Council how they can make grants work for YOU – even if you’ve never used Grant Aid before.
So check out the website above or email your views to grantsenquiries@nottinghamcity.gov.uk or call 0115 915 0360. If you’d like hard copies of any documents or you’d like to find out more please contact helpdesk@nottinghamcvs.co.uk or call NCVS on 0115 934 9548.
Please forward this on to all your VCS colleagues and groups you are working with.
