'futurebuilders'

An Investment Fund for Voluntary and Community Sector Public Service Delivery

What it is
futurebuilders is a £125m fund that will deliver an increase in the scale and scope of the public services delivered by the voluntary and community sector (VCS). It will do so through taking an investment in exemplars in VCS service delivery operating in five priority service areas.
 
The emphasis will be on step change within front-line service providing organisations so that they can deliver improved, and sustainable, services for users.

Finding out more about it
Responsibility for the futurebuilders fund within government lies with the Active Community Unit (ACU) in the Home Office.

The fund will be managed outside government by a consortium of organisations selected for their experience of the VCS under the name of Futurebuilders England.

Futurebuilders England will provide further information about the investment priorities for the fund, the eligibility criteria and the applications process. Please note that the fund will not be operational until July but enquiries about potential applications can be dealt with through Futurebuilders England.
