Know Your Neighbourhood (KYN) Fund – Tendring

Posted on: August 23, 2022

Overview

Up to £14 million will be made available through the Know Your Neighbourhood (KYN) Fund for activities enabling volunteering and tackling loneliness in 6 to 9 high deprivation local authorities. In line with the missions set out in the Levelling Up White Paper, our primary ambition is to develop our understanding of what works to improve wellbeing and pride in place in these communities through volunteering and community initiatives tackling loneliness. Citizens will be able to participate in local projects which build their skills, wellbeing and social networks.

 

KYN Fund objectives

The objectives of the KYN Fund are, by March 2025:

  • To build the evidence to identify scalable and sustainable place-based interventions that work in increasing regular volunteering and reducing chronic loneliness.
  • To increase the proportion of people in targeted high-deprivation local authorities who volunteer at least once a month.
  • To reduce the proportion of chronically lonely people in targeted high-deprivation local authorities who lack desired level of social connections.
  • To enable targeted high-deprivation local authorities, and the local voluntary and community sector in these places, to implement sustainable systems and processes that encourage volunteering and tackling loneliness.

 

Fund length

KYN Fund will commence from December 2022 and end by 31 March 2025.

The spend for each financial year of the fund is:

  • Y1- 22/23- £1,600,000
  • Y2- 23/24- up to £6,200,000
  • Y3- 24/25- up to £6,200,000

Note: For each financial year the actual value of onward grants for the IGM to administer is the figure stated above, minus 10% for evaluation (both elements, as outlined in the assessment criteria and section 7 of the detailed guidance below) and minus the requested % administration fee included in your bid (admin fee of no more than 6% as per eligibility criteria).

All DCMS funded activities must have taken place and the expenditure incurred by onward grantees by 31 March in each financial year of the programme i.e. in year 1, £1,600,000 must have been delivered and onward grantees must have completed DCMS funded activities by 31 March 2023.
