York CVS is the lead partner for the bid from York to the Transforming Infrastructure Fund.
To start our discussions internally with our staff, trustees and volunteers we used the attached presentation which we are happy to share. We started with the question “what do groups and individuals need to enable voluntary action to flourish..?” Here’s our presentation of the session:york-cvs-the-future-of-infrastructure.
Progress to date; a meeting of the potential partners was held on 10th August. A number of themes for further discussion were identified and meetings subsequently arranged. A letter to partners 26 aug was issued explaining how York CVS proposes to register the preliminary partnership.
Please post any thoughts below that can contribute to a winning bid for York!
Many thanks.
Angela Harrison, Chief Executive, York CVS
More information is available from Big Lottery.
And on the York CVS website.
We’ve just had a meeting of the enterprise group: three clear actions; mapping how current front door arrangements work, examining procurement as a route to VCO funding, and how we will link with businesses. Thoughts welcomed for those unable to attend..
We went to a briefing with Big Lottery on the 16th September to clarify exactly requirements and outcomes for the programme. We have had 12 meetings so far of interested parties and its being progressed. We will have focus groups with voluntary orgs, statutory sector and private sector. The exact nature of the bid is a bit confidential, but if anyone wants to see it so far let us know and we’ll talk you through it..!
Thanks
