Government launches £1.7m public service mutuals fund

Youth service organisations will be among groups eligible to apply for a share of a £1.7m fund that has been launched to support public service mutuals.

Civil society minister Tracey Crouch has announced that a total of £1.2m will be made available by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to create new, or strengthen existing, public service mutuals. It is anticipated the pot will help pay for legal, financial, marketing, human resources and business planning advice.

An additional £500,000 in funding has been made available to pilot support progammes for public service mutuals, such as developing partnerships and helping to broaden the scope of their services. This money will also be used to create a mentoring scheme for newly formed mutuals as well as a peer support network.
