REC Secures Over £400,000 from Capacity Builders
We have just heard that we have secured £410,555 of funding from
Capacity Builders to develop a new community development service to
reach out to frontline BME and faith community organisations across
Cheshire. We have been recruiting a new community development team which
we hope to be up and running by the beginning of September.
The Service will:
Provide advice and support to set up new groups and develop existing
ones
Help and handholding with funding applications
Skills based training
Set up and maintain a BME Network across the area
Housing Project Begins!
We have been commissioned by Cheshire Housing Alliance to undertake a
project to find out more about the housing and support needs our diverse
communities. The project will look at two distinct pieces of work –
developing a tool for frontline staff to use about diversity and the
needs of BME communities and a separate, more focused piece of research
into newly emerging communities within Cheshire , primarily Eastern
European. As part of the work we will be out and about talking to people
about what they want from housing providers. If you are interested in
getting involved or would like to be interviewed as part of the project
please contact the REC office on 01244 400730.
