Notice Title

Building Better Opportunities (Staffordshire) - Call for delivery partners

Notice Description

Building Better Opportunities is a new multi-million pound funding programme which matches money from the European Social Fund and Big Lottery Fund to tackle poverty and social exclusion faced by the most disadvantaged people in England. The funding must be used to help adults who are unemployed or economically inactive. In Staffordshire the fund will deliver aspects of the Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire Local Enterprise Partnership's EU Structural and Investment Funds Strategy and has been split into three 'project outlines'. Delivery of building Better Opportunities is via a Lead Organisation, and Big Lottery Fund will only fund one Lead Organisation for each project outline. It is anticipated that the Lead Organisation will develop a partnership of Delivery Partners for each project. Steps to Work will act as Lead Organisation for the following strand: * Multiple Barriers (Tamworth, Cannock, Lichfield and East Staffordshire) Steps to Work do not intend to deliver frontline activities. It is our intention to act as a 'lead organisation' that will effectively co-ordinate the delivery partners to ensure compliance with ESF requirements. We have identified a need for further specialist provision across the four districts of Staffordshire. We are seeking two additional partners that can provide support to individuals who are long term unemployed or economically inactive. The maximum amount of funding available for each potential partner is PS144,000 We are inviting organisations who feel they can deliver community based soft skills development- related activities and/or employability - related activities to support participants in any district (Tamworth, Cannock, Lichfield and Staffordshire) to complete our Expression of Interest form. We are seeking two delivery partners that can add further value and reach to our existing partnership, through innovative and creative methods of engagement, in order to deliver the specified Project Outline outcomes, outputs and results. Please note: this opportunity is aimed at enhancing rather than duplicating current services.
