Futurebuilders
As part of the 2002 Spending Review the
Government conducted a crosscutting review of the role of the voluntary
and community sector in service delivery. The outcome of the review
was announced in July 2002 and included a £125 million Futurebuilders
fund to assist the voluntary and community sector, including social
enterprises, in its public service delivery role.
This investment has also been established, says the Government,
to demonstrate that the sector can move from a dependency culture
based on short-term grants and contracts to investment in long term
sustainable funding.
