Consultation description

The UK Government Cabinet Office are consulting on a proposed sustainability fund to support effective voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. The fund will provide medium-sized organisations with the support they need to plan for the long term and begin to move to sustainable business models. The fund will be open to applications in 2015 and will look particularly at supporting organisations working with the most vulnerable and disadvantaged members of society.

They aim to work openly on developing the fund and want people and organisations to give their views to help design and implement it. They are interested in hearing from:

    frontline VCSE organisations
    VCSE sector membership and infrastructure organisations
    funders and providers of business-development support to the sector
    anyone with relevant experience or knowledge

If you work for a frontline VCSE organisation, you can respond to the consultation through this quick online survey.
