Community Grants Programme – Regional briefings


Regional Briefings

As part of a Capacity Building Programme around the CGP, HACT & Self-Help Housing.Org are running a series of Briefing Events, aimed at helping community-led-organisations with bidding and securing allocations. These regional events will be free of charge and will provide an opportunity to find out as much as possible about the way in which the  programme will work and the arrangements for bidding. Among the issues to be covered will be:

  • information as to the properties that will be eligible for funding;
  • the basis on which grants will be calculated;
  • issues around rents;
  • nomination requirements;
  • local authority support;
  • and information on how you can bid.

The briefings will be taking place across the country and the dates are as follows:

London briefing* – London – Tuesday 24 January 2012 – 2:00pm – 5:00pm

South West briefing – Exeter – Tuesday 31 January 2012 – 12.30pm – 4.30pm

North West briefing – Manchester – Thursday 2 February 2012 – 11.30pm – 3.30pm

Midlands briefing – Birmingham – Friday 3 February 2012 – 11.00am – 3.00pm

North East briefing – Newcastle – Tuesday 7 February 2012 – 12.30pm – 4.30pm

South East and East England briefing – London – Friday 10 February 2012 – 11.00am – 3:00pm

*This briefing session is for groups from London only and will cover the London specific bidding process details.

To register interest in attending a briefing session, please email linda.masetti@hact.org.uk with your name, role, organisation and contact details. There are limited places available and they will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. We will send you an email response to confirm your place.

To supplement the regional workshops, in particular for people unable to attend, we will be posting a recorded version of the workshop online at the end of January. This will be available on the HACT website at www.hact.org.uk/self-help-housing-webinar

There will also be a webinar session on Wednesday 1 February, between 3 – 5pm for those people unable to attend any of the briefings, or who have follow up questions from their briefing session or application process. This will take place at www.hact.org.uk/self-help-housing-webinar, via a conference chat system, and participants will not need to register, and will easily be able to ask questions directly to Jon Fitzmaurice.
