This was forwarded to me and may be of interest...
'The initiative is open to organisations that are providing adult
and community learning within the 88
most deprived Local Authorities areas in England or those able to
demonstrate that they are providing learning
to adults who are socially or economically disadvantaged outside of
the 88 Local Authorities in England especially
those operating in rural communities.'
I don't have any more details other than the link in the email below, as
this is a DfES/NIACE initiative, but would be very interested to hear from
anyone
considering this sort of project.
