Sue Robb of 4Children talks to Julie Laughton and Alison Britton from the Department for Education about the role of childminders in delivering the 30 hours free entitlement.
A new £2.5 million Communities Fund has been launched to provide a boost for small grassroots community groups.
The funding will be focused and tailored on local pressures, and could be used to help those facing domestic abuse, to provide support for disabled children’s services or to support those facing long-term unemployment.
Alongside grants worth £70,000, grassroots organisations will benefit from expert advice from the local government sector, training from a ‘grassroots network’ and advice on evaluating the success of their services.
Communities Minister Andrew Percy said: “Local grassroots community groups are best placed to understand the challenges in their local neighbourhoods and reaching those who need their help.
“This new multi-million pound fund will go direct to those groups of people who are struggling to manage, including those facing domestic abuse or long-term unemployment. I’d urge small groups to come forward and bid for this cash from today and they will also get expert advice from a network of other grassroot organisations.”
