Our main funding partner is Nottingham City Council, who has appointed us as the Area Lead Organisation for the community and voluntary sector across 3 Areas of the City, covering the wards of Basford, Sherwood, Berridge, Hyson Green & Arboretum, Radford, Castle, Wollaton West, Lenton & Wollaton East and Meadows. This status, amongst other things, provides an award of grant from the City Council, called Area Based Grant, which funds a range of community and voluntary sector activity in supporting play and young people, improving employment and skills, supporting community hubs and developing the growth of the local VCS. Castle Cavendish works with its delivery partners and its own funds to maximise the impact of the Area Based Grant and make a difference to people’s lives
Castle Cavendish works with a range of delivery partners whether that is through our grant support programme or community employablity support initiatives. Castle Cavendish is funding provision in Areas 2, 4 and 5. Through grant support to local groups and organisations, we will be supporting a main provision throughout the year, along with a school holiday programme. Responding to a Needs Analysis, and reflecting local providers track record, innovative engagement approach, value for money and wider community benefits, we have engaged a range of organisations to deliver provision this year
