ChangeUp is a government initiative for investing in the development of Voluntary and Community Sector infrastructure support. It has been developed with the voluntary sector and seeks to address key capacity needs of frontline organisations through infrastructure improvement.
ChangeUp aims to ensure that by 2014 the needs of frontline voluntary and community organisations will be met by support that is available nationwide, is efficient, offers excellent provision to all, promotes diversity and is sustainable. This will be done on a local, sub-regional and regional basis.
ChangeUp addresses six national ‘Hubs of Excellence’ to enable frontline organisations to fulfil their potential. These are:
Performance
Workforce
ICT
Governance
Finance
At the local level, the Lewisham Local Infrastructural Development Plan (LIDP) has been written in response to the ChangeUp initiative. Based on consultation and research, 11 initial programmes and projects have been identified for further development. VAL has responsibility for developing and securing funding for 4 projects:
Information & Research Programme
Second Tier Development Programme
Organisational Development Programme
ICT/Website Development Programme
ChangeUp has synergy with community focussed strategies and policies adopted by Lewisham Council and Lewisham PCT. The initiative can potentially ‘add value’ and maximise investments by Lewisham Council and Lewisham PCT.
Nationally, ChangeUp is managed by Capacity Builders an agency at arms length to government. Please refer to the ChangeUp website for further information and the East London Network website for details of sub-regional initiatives and resources.
