Trends in funding:
• Trust funding still available, some report reduced applications
• Public grant vastly reduced, large and small. More tendering for public services
• Social investment• Payment by results schemes• Loan finance

Other factors
• Localism issues - groups need high quality business plans and finance quickly
• Council service cutbacks – groups taking over services over time, many areas now with ‘community’ libraries
• Growth of online fundraising – crowd funding

Pressure on infrastructure:
• Some end user groups need to be very professional very quickly – some old structures not suitable.
• The little groups are still there and still need the same help. Many were supported by Councils
• Less grants mean other sources need exploring – charging, contracts, consultancy
