The Government has provided more detail on the Modernisation Fund and Community Investment Fund in its response to the Task Force Report.
The document entitled Positive Steps is now available from the DSD website (and Grant Tracker publications).
Modernisation Fund
It is planned that £3m will be made available over the next 3 years to promote modernisation and change within the sector and strengthen the service delivery role of organisations.
A further £15m will be available for capital projects in the voluntary and community sector and will focus investments on projects that can contribute to reduced revenue costs. Services in support of disadvantaged children and young people and improving accessibility have been proposed as priorities for this new investment.
Community Investment Fund
A Community Investment Fund is being established to provide more strategic funding for the support of generic community development activity. The Fund will be established initially at £1m for 2005-2006 and £2m for each of the following years.
Positive Steps states that further information on these schemes will be available soon.
