Walk Boost

Hi all,

Attached are some weekly walks as well as the Historical/themed walks. I have also attached our Walk Boost logo for you to use as you wish.

Walk Boost is about providing walks within the local area to try and entice people to ditch their car and make those local trips on foot. We aim to work with local groups, TARA’s, housing associations, key partners, Mosques/Churches and schools to provide awareness about the scheme.

As part of our targets we also need to provide local walking maps, and a loyalty scheme to improve footfall into the local shopping districts. Participants will receive a loyalty card, and will need to collect stamps from participating shops to receive a free £10 voucher to spend back in those local shops.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Thanks,

James

Reaching Communities Masterclass

Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. Reaching Communities Masterclass February 13 A training course coming up shortly you may be interested in: Reaching Communities is a major funding source for groups, which was updated last summer by the Big Lottery Fund. Come to SYFAB’s Reaching Communities Master Class if you who are thinking about applying to this fund, and want to find out what the new application process is, how it is different, and how to maximise your chances of success. The Reaching Communities programme is interested in projects that improve communities and the lives of people most in need, and offers multi-year grants of above £10,000. Voluntary and community organisations, schools, local authorities, health bodies, not-for-profit organisations and social enterprises are eligible to apply. This session will help you: • Be clear what organisations and projects can be funded • Learn how the application process has changed, and why • Understand how applications are assessed • Learn the common reasons for rejection • Pick outcomes and indicators for your project • Decide how to consult beneficiaries about the plans and their implementation • Properly cost out your budget. This session is aimed at those planning to apply or currently completing an application to this Big Lottery Fund scheme. Date: Thursday 13 February 2014 Venue: Voluntary Action Sheffield, The Circle, 33 Rockingham Lane, Sheffield, S1 4FW Time: 9.30 – 2.30 Level: Intermediate to advanced Cost: £80.00 per person (includes lunch) A recent participant on the scheme, who was successful with their bid for £260,000 said: “We had a great idea for a Reaching Communities project (and a great need for the money). Fitting the right number of words into the right boxes was becoming a nightmare and outcomes were swimming before our eyes. Peter and his SYFAB colleagues helped us focus on the important bits and the rest flowed from there. We have got £269,313. SYFAB was a very good investment. Now we just have to deliver!” Interested?

Equality Hub Network – Voice and Influence Consultation

voice and influence

We have finalised the full proposal on Equality Hub Network – Voice and Influence with Members this week and it will be going out to consultation next week.

The consultation outlines the plans in more detail but to summarise the model chosen was the mixed model, this means the Council will set up and run an Equality Hub Network and a Board but there will be grants available to organisations. The grants will be focused on activity to help us meet our Equality and Fairness Objectives 2014 – 18 which were agreed by our Cabinet in December.

I have enclosed a copy of the consultation documents and there is an online survey to fill in .

There will also be a separate consultation event on February 20th in the afternoon in the Town hall
