London Councils CFO ESF event on 23 November 2008
London Councils is holding a workshop detailing the application
process for its ESF programme. ESF aims to tackle unemployment and
worklessness by developing the employability and skills of unemployed
people. The London programme offers £320 million to tackle
worklessness and low skills, address the barriers to work and develop
a skilled and adaptable workforce. ESF in London is delivered by four
organisations and this workshop focuses on the London Councils ESF
programme.

This programme will fund projects to improve the employability and
skills of unemployedand economically inactive people by equipping them
with the personal and occupationalskills they need to access and
compete effectively in the labour market.

London Councils hopes to fund projects that contribute to reducing
child poverty in London by raising family income and skills. The
programme invites applications from voluntary sector organisations or
from voluntary sector led partnerships that are strategic and show
links with other programmes. The workshop will outline the programme's
key priorities and go through the application process in detail.

Please note that local authorities are not able to apply directly for
funding under this programme - please feel free to pass on the
invitation to community and/or voluntary organisations in your borough
who may be eligible. Please book early as places are limited!
