There are now just 11 days remaining in our challenge to raise £2,500 by 19 Dec so that we can expand the Carers Time Bank into Hammersmith & Fulham and also secure a permanent place on the Global Giving crowdfunding platform, which will help Carers Network raise more money for carers in the future!

The H&F CCG Health and Wellbeing Grants programme managed by Sobus commenced in April 2016. £100k was made available by the H&F CCG and Sobus managed the application process including the promotion of the initiative. The programme was hugely oversubscribed, with over 40 applications totalling £460k plus. The grants panel consisted of CCG staff & Board members plus a voluntary sector representative from outside the borough. Grants awarded range from £3k to £14k per project. The current CCG programme comes to an end in March 2017 and we are waiting for confirmation if the programme will run again however, the programme has been very well received by the CCG.
Sobus will alert the sector as soon as a decision is made and any news will put on our website as well as the next funding bulletin. To get all the latest information please check the news section of our website and follow us on twitter @Sobus_H_F

The council commissioned Sobus to deliver the co-production of a Youth Partnership for Hammersmith and Fulham. The partnership engaged young people, businesses, funders, and providers to develop a shared vision and service model for young people’s services in Hammersmith and Fulham and ways of working in partnership to deliver this vision and ensure sustainability for the future. The hard work from everyone has enabled this report to be brought together but more importantly a strong partnership of stakeholders that can continue working together collectively.
On Tuesday 29th November the report was formally launched by the Youth Mayor – Aminata Koroma. There was great attendance and engagement by young people, youth providers, funders and statutory organisations.
The main recommendations included:
