\n

The fund follows the launch of the successful Mutuals Support Programme in January. This fund provided 12 organisations with support to set up or grow as Public Service Mutuals.<\/p>\n

Tracey Crouch, Minister for Sport and Civil Society, said:<\/p>\n

\n

We want to support the development, growth and sustainability of mutuals. Our funding boost has already enabled dozens of organisations to flourish.<\/p>\n

This next round will strengthen our commitment and allow many institutions, staff, and their customers, to benefit from more independence, faster decision-making and less bureaucracy in the future.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

To apply for funding email the Mutuals Team at the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport on: mutuals@culture.gov.uk.<\/p>\n

Funding will be open until 17.00hrs on Friday 29 June.<\/p>\n

NOTES TO EDITORS<\/h3>\n

Public service mutuals are organisations that have left the public sector but continue delivering public services.<\/p>\n

To apply for support from this programme you must currently, or intend to, fulfil our definition of a Public Service Mutual, which is an organisation that: i) has left the public sector (also known as \u2018spinning out\u2019) ii) continues to deliver public services and aims to have a positive social impact iii) has a significant degree of staff influence or control in the way it is run.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re an existing mutual, you must be in your first five years of operation, or delivering your original or extended contract which has not been retendered, or both.<\/p>\n

You must be able to demonstrate how support from this programme will help your organisation grow or diversify its operations.<\/p>\n

All applicants will be required to demonstrate their commitment to their project and the mutual model by providing matched funding, in cash, towards the support needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
