Meetings, agendas and decisions - East Midlands Combined County Authority
Leaders welcomed the recognition of the importance and value of the VCSE sector in contributing to Inclusive Growth reflected in the establishment of this programme and we look forward to learning more when papers are published. Lessons learnt from previous programmes and the opportunity to build on many years of learning what works was also discussed.
It is understood at this stage that proposals are for a £3m two-year programme running in 10 to 12 ward level areas across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. The programme is likely to run across 3 financial years from Autumn 2025. BCVS will highlight future updates to the sector as soon as available.
