Building Change Trust to launch new strategy and programmes

The Building Change Trust is running 4 regional information events during May 2010 to launch its strategy and programmes for 2010 - 2013 and to provide further detail on the Exploring Change and Deliver Change award programmes.

Following consultation with the community and voluntary sector and internal debate , the Building Change Trust has developed a strategy and a number of associated award programmes for the period 2010 - 2013.

The programmes include Exploring Change and Deliver Change Award Programmes  which will aim to support challenging and innovative projects within the community and voluntary sector which have the potential to highlight possibilities for the sector in the future.

The Trust will be making a limited number of awards for projects and expects to fund only the very best projects and develop meaningful and enduring relationships with those resourced.

Resources will not be available for the continuation of existing service delivery within organisations.

Details of the strategy and programmes including guidelines and application forms will be available on the Building Change Trust website from 7 May.

Further information on the events which will take place in Belfast, Newry, L/Derry and Dungannon is available by following the link below.

The Building Change Trust was established by the Big Lottery Fund with a National Lottery grant of £10 million as an investment for community capacity building and promotion of the voluntary and community sector in Northern Ireland.
