DEFRA's Early Spend - Guidance to Partnerships
Until 25th June 2004, up to £20,000 per County is being made available from DEFRA. This will support the preparatory work. From July onwards, a further £60,000 will be available to consortiums submitting proposals. This document contains important advice to partnerships.DEFRA has recently sent out an invitation to all RCCs in the Region to set up a County Consortium to take forward the DEFRA VCS infrastructure funding.The consortium must follow the guidance and:- Be made up of all generalist support agencies within the voluntary sector as well as specialist infrastructure organisations.- Ensure that a broad range of organisations across the County are represented.- Decide the lead/accountable body.- Consider the main objectives for the proposal for further funding from the main spend.

Infrastructure Consultation Document
Last year, Treasury reviewed the Voluntary and Community Sector's service delivery involvement. It found one key barrier to involvement: lack of capacity and patchy public investment in the Sector's infrastructure (in the 'umbrella' organisations that give it support and a voice). So Government's Active Community Unit ('ACU') wrote 'Voluntary and Community Sector Infrastructure'. After it's consulted on, this document will help determine Government's Capacity Building and infrastructure Framework and the £93 million to be spent on it. The money's important but perhaps more so is the fact that infrastructure will have to be 'fit for the purpose' as judged by a performance framework to be developed by Government and the Sector.This is the home Office's consultation document

Regional Voluntary and Community Sector Networks
In each of the nine English regions there is a generalist network which champions the engagement of the voluntary and community sector (VCS) in regional policy and strategy. They develop and support the contribution of the sector to regional progress and raise awareness and understanding of the sectorâs roles. All the networks share common core purposes and they also reflect the particular nature of their own region. All are independent organisations accountable through their membership to the voluntary and community sector. They work closely with specialist networks in their region such as those concerned with black and minority ethnic organisations, disability issues and social enterprises.The regional networks link local involvement and experience with the decision-making structures in the regions by providing an informed and independent voice for the sector. The regional networks are a critical connection between national and local infrastructure.

Voluntary and community sector infrastructure - A consultation document (The Infrastructure Document)
This response is based in part on a cross sector ACU funded meeting RAISE facilitated on 21st November. That meeting discussed the Infrastructure Document and this response is based in part on members comments made at the time and subsequently and in part on our experience of working with voluntary / community organisations (VCOs) and other partners regionally and nationally. RAISE is itself an infrastructure body, of course, and we acknowledge that this response is partly shaped by our perceptions of our organisations needs and strengths
