Find out more about bidding for this fund

In the Budget, the Government announced a £1 billion Future Jobs Fund to which third sector organistions and other organisations can bid to create around 150,000 new jobs. This is a new approach to creating jobs and providing hope for young people and jobseekers in deprived communities. Further information is available at www.dwp.gov.uk/futurejobsfund. 

All bids submitted by 30 June 2009 will be considered for the first allocations of funding to enable the first jobs to begin in October or earlier.

In partnership with the Third Sector Future Jobs Fund Taskforce, the Office of the Third Sector is hosting an information seminar for third sector organisations that are interested in bidding to the Future Jobs Fund. Practical advice and guidance will be provided about the bidding process and other support that may be available for bidders. This will be a practical workshop based seminar that is intended to support the development of high quality bids from third sector organisations. 

Please note: Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. One place per organisation.
