support for funding through effective information

Norfolk Unites uses the Directory (www.norfolkunites.org.uk/directory) to contact relevant organisations as news of specific funding and partnership opportunities comes onto the radar (www.norfolkunites.org.uk/funding/). An impact assessment found that additional funding achieved by Norfolk Unites members (due to Norfolk Unites alerting them of specific opportunities) was:

  • £100,000 in the period January 2009 to October 2009 and
  • £116,000 in the period November 2009 to September 2010.

Around £300,000 of funds had been applied for between November 2009 and September 2010, with 52% of members applying for funds/partnership applications having been notified of them by Norfolk Unites.

“I like the targeted information by email – I know it will be relevant and is worth a look… As a small organisation it saves me time, which is great.” – Norfolk Unites member

Funding bulletins are extremely beneficial.” – Norfolk Unites member
