Notice Title
Interim Evaluation of National Lottery Skills Clusters Fund
Notice Description
In 2023 the BFI awarded PS9.m of National Lottery 'good cause' funding over three years to seven Skills Clusters supporting major production hubs across the UK that work with local industry, education and training providers to help local people train for below-the-line careers on their doorstep. As the BFI nears the end of the first funding period (2023-2026) of the new strategy, the BFI would like to commission an interim evaluation of the National Lottery funded Skills Clusters programme. Findings from the interim evaluation will be used to inform iterations to the Fund guidelines ahead of the second funding period (2026-2029).
