Innovation and Sustainability programme
In March 2012 CDC awarded 19 local voluntary and community
sector organisations a total of over £180,000 as part of our
Innovation and Sustainability Programme.
The Innovation and Sustainability Programme is part of our work
as Strategic Partner and funded by the Department for
Education. The programme works to support the development of
capacity building through innovation and sustainability across the
voluntary and community sector.
At the final count CDC received 119 applications with
some hugely positive ideas for innovative work that will lead to
better sustainability. Overall the bids were of a very high
standard and highlighted the phenomenal work going on across
England in support of disabled children, young people, those with
SEN and their families.
The successful 19 projects, listed below, were selected by a
working group of CDC Council members. They were chosen as
they were particularly innovative, clearly demonstrated how they
will increase the organisation's sustainability and had a focus on
the participation of disabled young people and those with SEN and
families within their work.
