For Year 2 of the Fund, it will be important to build on the successes of Year 1. We have done well at building strong partnerships but we need to support less experienced groups to apply for funding.
Key areas for improvement include:
Engagement

We need to involve more people with lived experience and get better at supporting hard-to-reach target groups.
Measuring impact

We need better ways of measuring how the Fund is helping target groups. This should not make things difficult for those who apply.
Support

We need make sure local partnerships feel supported to deliver Year 2 of the Fund. This includes ongoing support through meetings and support that changes to meet the needs of local groups.
