Q.

We want to get on with it - what resources/assistance is available?

A.

The first point of call to locate useful resources should be the PB unit website. There are many case studies, videos of actual experiences in the UK, and our toolkit. The toolkit contains practical advice and templates for running a small grants process, and should provide many answers to your questions. Our Values, Principles and Standards provide guidance on best practice. On our website you can sign up for e-bulletins or find out about regional or thematic learning communities for PB. If you would like hands on support for your PB project, the PB unit can also provide this including advising you and supporting your learning and evaluation.
