Riverside Housing Association seeks a VCS partner organisation for grant bid

Riverside Housing Association is looking to develop a partnership with a VCS organisation that would be interested in delivering support to unemployed tenants and residents in Leicester and Leicestershire to help them move closer to the labour market and/or find work. Riverside has concentrations of housing in South Braunstone, Beaumanor and Kirby Frith, as well as dispersed stock across the city and county. They would particularly like to target support at lone parents and people with disabilities and health problems.

There is currently an opportunity to bid for an ESF Community Grant being managed by Enable. Click on the link for information about eligibility and target groups. http://northantsconsortium.co.uk.powerpanel-host.co.uk/drupal/ The next bidding round is due to end on 14 Nov 2011.
