Cohesion Guidance for Funders Consultation
Communities and Local Government’s consultation on draft Cohesion Guidance for Funders is recommending that:
- local funders – who are experts on the communities they serve – use a measured approach to single group funding requests;
- local funders recognise the value of this type of funding for capacity building purposes;
- funders acknowledge the need to promote cohesion by encouraging ‘bridging activity’ and ensure that funding decisions are adequately communicated to local people.
