BME
Infrastructure – The
proposals to review the way that frontline Voluntary Sector
organisations are supported provided the platform for Change Up.
EBDC was instrumental in proposing a project idea to the Home Office
to establish a framework for supporting BME Infrastructure organisations
in London within a social enterprise construct. This project received
funding under the Early Investment Programme (EIP) for Change Up
via a scheme entitled “Solutions through Ideas.” The
result of the collaboration initiated by around 8 BME Infrastructure
organisations is the establishment of the Pillar Consortium, set
up as a company limited by guarantee with an independent and accountable
trustee board and management structure. |

Black
Minority Ethnic Volunteer Development Project
(BMEVDDP) – this project was funded
by the Active Community Unit of the Home Office to support diversity
in volunteering outcomes for small Black Minority Ethnic organisations
through the use of ICT. The project was funded through the Capital
Modernisation Fund and comprised of capital subvention only. We
secured and distributed around 120 computers to BME voluntary organisations
across London with this grant. Through this activity, EBDC became
the first ever BME infrastructure organisation to offer grant funding
resources by way of capital equipment to front line organisations. |
