Improving Reach Programme
Improving Reach aims to extend and improve sector support services available to frontline organisations dedicated to working in and with excluded communitiesBackground
Building on the success of the pilot Improving Reach programme in 2006/07, Destination 2014 signalled Capacitybuilders’ intention to launch a new programme for the three years 2008/11.
Building capacity
Improving Reach focuses additional resources to extend and improve sector support services available to those frontline organisations dedicated to working in and with excluded communities.
Grant awards
£17 million is being invested through the Improving Reach programme for the three year period 2008-11.
Grant awards have been made to 73 individual organisations that help the third sector to flourish through the provision of information, advice and facilities.
Reaching the frontline
We believe that improved ‘sector support services’ can play an important role in strengthening third sector, frontline organisations enabling them to be more effective in their work and create a better quality of life for individuals and communities.
Outcomes focused
The Improving Reach programme for 2008-11 aims to achieve the following outcomes:
- Smaller organisations have more skills and resources to provide support services to third-sector frontline organisations which work with excluded communities. These smaller organisations are able to continue their work after our funding has run out.
- More frontline organisations working in and with excluded communities can get high-quality support services which are appropriate for them.
