The Woodsmith Foundation is working with a number of other funders to collectively support the development needs of organisations in the local voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector in Redcar and Cleveland. The partners for this work are; Lloyds Bank Foundation, National Lottery Community Fund, Rank Foundation, Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council, Tees Foundation, and Woodsmith Foundation.

Earlier this year we conducted a survey of VCSE organisations to find out about what support and services they need now, and in the future, and how they would like those services to be provided. A summary report of the survey is available here - Survey Report .

We now wish to commission and fund a support service that will meet the needs of, and advocate for, VCSE organisations in Redcar and Cleveland. There is one grant available, full details can be found in the documents below.
