Johnson Appointed
to Future Builders Panel
January 2006
Mark Johnson has been appointed to the panel of approved consultants used by the
Futurebuilders England Fund. He will be supporting the fund in reviewing applications
for investment and advising on legal and commercial issues.
The £125 million Futurebuilders
Fund was established in 2002 to boost the involvement of the voluntary and community
sector (VCS) in the delivery of public services. The fund is sponsored by the Home
Office and administered by a consortium comprising Charity Bank, NCVO, Northern
Rock Foundation and Unity Trust Bank. The fund offers a combination of grants, loans
and equity investments to boost the capacity and infrastructure of VCS organisations
to enter into public service delivery. The fund focuses on five key areas:
Community Cohesion
Education & Learning
Health and Social Care
Support for Children & Young People
Crime Reduction
Says Johnson, "Futurebuilders has a key role to play in enabling VCS organisations
to secure growth and stability through diversifying their business and securing
new income streams. Futurebuilders supported projects will raise a wide range of
legal regulatory issues, such as constitutional and governance aspects, charity
law and procurement, state aid and property development issues. We are delighted
to be able to offer our expertise to help create more successful partnerships between
the public and voluntary sector."
Over 100 voluntary organisations across England have so far been approved for a
Futurebuilders investment. Latest figures show that 102 organisations have benefited
from £36 million worth of loans and grants, helping them improve public services.
