About the Modernisation Fund Grants Programme
The first phase of the Modernisation Fund Grants Programme is aimed at helping you understand your needs better. During June and July organisations delivering services that meet the needs of communities affected by the recession will be able to apply for £1,000 bursaries to pay for initial advice to explore how they can become more resilient and increase their impact by working more closely with others. Early applications are encouraged and will stand more chance of being successful. Visit www.modernisationfund.org.uk to find out more.
