The funding can be used for a variety of costs including staff or volunteer time to co-ordinate collaboration, staff or volunteer training or mentoring, and costs associated with meetings or events to support collaborative working.

Expressions of interest should be submitted by 5 pm on the 7th December 2022.

 

Applicants successful at this stage will be invited to submit a full application.  The closing date for full applications is the 16th December 2022.
