Improving sustainability
This research provides case study evidence of sustainable models of delivering capacity building support. Each case study will identify the critical success factors which contribute to the sustainability of support services and how these have been implemented effectively.
The project is particularly relevant to support providers that are looking to improve the sustainability of their services, and to third sector funders interested in interventions that led to sustainable improvements in support services.
Example case studies
Warwickshire Community and Voluntary Action - merging support providers brings efficiencies without losing local presence.
Voluntary Action Rutland - new building boosts income for rural CVS.
