This has led to us winning three years funding from the The National Lottery Community Fund to develop and deliver our “Power to Change” model. The outcomes for this work are:

- _Community groups are supported by staff, young people and business volunteers to develop their capacity so they are better able to understand and support young people._
- _Young people develop the skills, knowledge and confidence to share awareness of their situation and ideas for improving services and support with both local and national decision makers._

In addition to the TNLCF, funding we have also won one years funding from UKSPF for an advice support worker for two who specialises in energy efficiency.

The CD team will initially consist of the HoP who will manage, two Development officer and a 0.8 Community and Business Support Officer.
