If you want to understand more about potential sources of funding, HEFCE has put together a number of free events in collaboration with UUK and the NHS Confederation. The workshops will look at a range of emerging forms of investment funding relevant to local anchor institutions such as combined/local authorities, universities, and NHS organisations.
The focus will be on various types of bonds, loan funds and integrated funding approaches for strategic infrastructures and sites. As ‘risk-based’ opportunities, they will require local institutions to think and act very differently when compared to traditional grant regimes. Institutions providing the finance will identify the ingredients of a successful application and practical case studies will transfer best practice. The programme will be supported by an online community of practice.
Detailed programmes for all events will be circulated shortly, but for more information and to book, click on the links below.
