Community Engagement
& Empowerment Programme
Deadline noon 28
May 2010
The Programme
Board agreed on 3rd April 2009 to establish an Innovation Fund. The key
objective of the fund is to improve community empowerment and engagement by:
- Generating a
positive impact on services and culture
- improving
outcomes for communities, and
- embedding a
genuine customer focus in service delivery that can be felt within
organisations and by communities.
The Innovation
Fund is structured around the core themes of the CEE Programme which are shown
below and support the aspirations of Communities in Control, Real People Real
Power, the Government's Empowerment White Paper:
Improving
empowerment and engagement and communicating more effectively with :
- Older People
- Young People
- Communities
- Engaging with
hard to reach groups including the "silent majority"
- Furthering
understanding between statutory and voluntary & community sectors
- Supporting
community safety and the integration of neighbourhood policing into
neighbourhood management
The 2010 Innovation Fund has funding of £200,000 available for the financial
year April 2010 to March 2011.
Ideally, a
geographically balanced spread of projects across the region, in both rural and
urban settings will be sought.

Learning and Skills Discussion |
|
|
|
|
On
1 April 2010, Learning and Skills Council ceased to exist with its work
distributed to three national organisations – Skills Funding Agency, Young
People’s Learning Agency and National Apprenticeship Service. This change is
underpinned by two significant policy changes on increasing investment for
young people between 16 and 19 years and demand led adult learning
provision.
Policy
and Representation Partnership, a partnership of voluntary and community sector
organisations in the North East, identified learning and skills as an area of
activity in the first year of the project which is being led by BECON. The
partnership aims to engage with voluntary and community sector organisations in
the region and increase their influence on the development of future policy
making in the region.
