Fund for ‘separated families’ invites the third sector to bid

Third sector groups have been invited to attend a bidders’ event to stake a claim for part of a £14 million funding project supporting separated families.

The Department for Work and Pensions is to launch the Innovation Fund: Support for Separated Families, which contains up to £14 million to finance interventions to help parents work together in the interest of their children.

The key objectives of the Fund are to:

• Increase the number of children benefiting from child maintenance arrangements by reducing conflict and improving collaboration between separating or separated parents
• Test a wide range of interventions to understand what is effective in encouraging collaboration and reduce conflict among separating and separated parents

Bids for funding of up to £1.5 million are invited, and the DWP is particularly encouraging bids from the third sector as either a main bidder or a sub-contractor. A bidder event to explain the fund’s requirements more fully and to answer any questions from attendees will take place in Cardiff on 25 July.

To attend this event, email your name and contact information to separated.familiesprocurement@dwp.gsi.gov.uk, stating that you are interested in attending the Cardiff event.
