North West Together We Can and Targeted Support funding
North West Together We Can funded more than 80 projects across the region with £1m from CLG from 2009 to 2011.
All these projects focused on community empowerment. The money was allocated to North West Together We Can - one of the country's nine Regional Empowerment Partnerships.
The local authority projects, with their voluntary sector partners, were also complemented by a number of regional projects and, separate, sub-regional projects.
NWTWC Community Empowerment & Social Cohesion Award.
The Community Empowerment and Cohesion Award Scheme was sponsored by NWTWC and supported by Government Office North West, North West Improvement and Efficiency Partnership (NWIEP), Neighbourhoods NW and the Institute for Political and Economic Governance (IPEG) at The University of Manchester.
The Scheme was designed to showcase the impact of good Community Empowerment and Cohesion activity in the North West as carried out by any Local Authority or Council, or public sector organisation. The benefits of the Scheme were that it offered a way of independently validating and proving the worth of good empowerment and social cohesion activity. The Scheme celebrated twenty two Award winners in 2010 - 2011. Details of the Award Winners are available in two Case Studies which are available in our Resources section.
Our Life is now taking forward this Scheme and will launch a new round of awards in the Autumn.
