Reach & Impact project comes to an end

Many of you are already aware that the ERDF Reach and Impact project is coming to its closing stages (project end date 30th September 2015). We will probably squeeze one final ERDF e-bulletin in September, however there is still plenty of information to share through this edition of the e-bulletin. The team at One East Midlands would like to thank all the key stakeholders that have provided input and engaged with the project. Thanks also to our colleague Alex Archibald for her valuable work on the project. Alex was the ERDF project officer since December 2014, and has recently left us for a full time post at the University of Leicester.

Equalities – Lessons Learnt from 2007-13

We recently held our final project event, focusing on Equalities – Lessons Learnt from (ERDF) 2007-13. Following this event there will be a report building upon the earlier ERDF Equalities/Diversity research that we jointly carried out with DCLG and TREC that helped to inform this event. The event was well attended with key stakeholders helping to shape the discussions and the follow-up report. Further information will follow in September so please keep an eye out for our ERDF communications.


Insight magazine

We thought it was important that at this stage of the project, and programme, to reflect on the valuable work carried out through VCS ERDF projects in the 2007-13 programme, as well as the usual updates. Below is the link to our latest, and final, (ERDF) Insight Magazine that includes a number of VCS ERDF Case studies. Thank you again for all contributors to this edition.
