LAUNCH OF UNLTD'S NEW BUILDING FUTURES PROGRAMME
UnLtd is pleased to announce the launch of Building Futures – our new support programme for the social housing sector.
We are inviting expressions of interest from housing providers, affiliate bodies, social housing networks and support organisations to become Building Futures partners.
We are looking for 10 forward-thinking organisations in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to work with us to learn and share what works in helping young people, aged 16 to 21 and living in social housing, to start up and grow social ventures.
We know that the social housing sector can play a pivotal role in creating the fertile ground in which talented young people – given the right opportunities and support – can find solutions to the problems they and their communities face.
We are offering partners:
Our unique model for improving people’s lives and helping the local area.
Up to £10,000 as a contribution towards an awards pot for young social entrepreneurs in your local community.
Up to £2,000 for promotion and marketing.
Up to £1,000 for engaging with existing social entrepreneurs.
Tailored support and access to our skills, expertise and resources.
Training for a young person in your network as a community reporter.
Please send your expression of interest (EOI) to buildingfutures@unltd.org.uk and you will be invited to make a full application as appropriate. If you would like further guidance on the Building Futures programme, please call Louise Cannon on 0121 766 4570 or email to address above.
The deadline for applications is 5pm on Tuesday 22 October, 2013.
