Big Lottery
|
Between 2006 and 2009, the Big Lottery are making £50 million available to projects in England through Advice Plus. Advice Plus aims to ensure that more people who need advice have access to good advice services wherever they live in England. The focus of Advice Plus is projects that support people in accessing the services they may be entitled to, such as; housing, education and health services or welfare benefits. They will only make grants to voluntary and community sector organisations that have experience in giving advice, or supporting those that do. Through Advice Plus they want to see expert, consistent and sustainable advice services that are provided for a wider range of people. Advice Plus will fund projects that:
- benefit the people who need advice and the organisations that provide it
- raise awareness of, increase access to, or improve existing advice services
They will also consider funding new advice services or new ways to meet identified needs where no, or limited, services exist. You can apply for up to £500,000 in total for capital and revenue projects lasting up to five years. There will be three rounds of awards with closing dates in October 2006, October 2007 and October 2008. To find out more about Advice Plus and how to apply:

e-Learning Foundation
|
The next e-Learning Foundation grants round closes for applications on Thursday 28 September 2006 . This follows a major round of funding in the Spring of 2006, where 55 schools were offered over £600,000 in grants to support their home access/e-learning programmes. Sharing the common principles of equity of access, home access and sustainability of funding through parental involvement , these schools will all be claiming their funds down by mid July 2006. Any unclaimed funds will be added to unallocated funds from the Spring round to form a limited mid year grant programme. Successful schools must be planning to launch their programme and claim their grant in full by the deadline of 28 February 2007.
Because of the limited fund, eligibility to apply for this new round will be restricted to schools who have not previously received a grant from the Foundation . As before, eligibility also requires schools to be affiliated; either through a Donation Management Service agreement with the e-Learning Foundation or by being affiliated members of the e-Learning Foundation. Applications are particularly welcomed from primary schools.

Learning Champions

Learning Champions - Opening up Opportunities in the Community and at Work - Thursday 5 October 2006 - London
‘Increasingly we are realising the value of citizens participating not just in choosing or designing services, but in helping to deliver them. In Children’s Centres, Extended Primary Schools that are open from 8 till 6, and Safer Neighbourhood Police Teams, we are seeing the development of neighbourhood institutions that forge a different relationship with citizens, and enhanced roles for para-professionals and volunteers drawn from the local community.' - David Miliband MP
This event is being held in collaboration with the Trades Union Congress (TUC) and is supported by the Department for Education and Skills. The Conference will discuss proposals for a national Learning Champions’ scheme as part of a new approach to developing the role and skills of para-professionals in public service. The focus of the conference will be on Learning Champions, their work, experiences and ideas, and how they can help to transform people’s lives through learning. Conference participants will consider and vote on the key priorities for national development as well as discussing practical ways of improving their own project. Workshops led by practitioners will deal with:
a. Reaching out and supporting learners;
b. Working with schools;
c. Training, development and careers;
d. Linking learning, public service improvement and neighbourhood renewal;
e. Linking community and workplace.
This national event will be relevant to Learning Champions themselves, their managers, other managers of public services, education providers – including further and higher education, community learning, development and workbased learning providers - guidance organisations, trade unions, employers and policy managers. A limited number of free places have been set aside for Learning Champions. Arrival and Registration is at 9.45am. The conference will end with Tea at 3.45pm.
