Futurebuilders England

Futurebuilders England announced it is actively seeking applications from third sector organisations working across all public service areas who are looking to win contracts with statutory bodies such as local authorities, primary care trusts and learning and skills councils. They offer investment packages, starting at £50,000, to third sector organisations that want to improve public services in England. There is no such thing as a standard Futurebuilders investment. A loan will always be part of any investment but they are often combined with grants and professional support to help build the capacity of organisations preparing to contract with public sector bodies. Every package is tailored to the needs of the organisation and no two investments are the same. For more information click on the link above.
