Inclusive Communities key objectives are to support voluntary-led community activity and social inclusion across the District with a focus on the economic and social sustainability in households and communities. This includes advice, guidance, training and facilitation on issues such as fuel efficiency, household finances, access to entitlements and developing social networks. Recognising the synergy with current the cost of living challenges we see this as an opportunity to utilise the Inclusive Communities funding to support households and communities.
£150k of funding was awarded to three Voluntary Sector organisations, Citizens Advice North East Derbyshire (CANED) £66,966, Citizens Advice Mid Mercia (CAMM) £33,942 and Derbyshire Voluntary Action (DVA) £48,839 to deliver initiatives that meet the Inclusive Communities objectives.
Areas will be targeted across the District to ensure that those in most need can access the support they require.
