LCVS supports the national campaign that seeks to encourage local and central government to utilise grants as a way of building stronger communities. Good grants programmes have several benefits:

• Investing locally – enabling finance to be retained within local economies, coupled with the added benefit of encouraging public and corporate donations and volunteer activity.
• Supporting community – by engaging the understanding and skills of local people, the unique requirements of each community can be better met and maintained.
• Empowering people – drawing on the expertise of individuals and service users working on behalf of the community and its residents at a grassroots level, rather than adopting the ‘bigger picture’ approach favoured by fixed contracts.
• Saving time, effort and resources – grants have a more targeted focus and often provide a quicker and easier mechanism for enabling change than can be achieved via fixed contracts.
• Nurturing innovation – grants provide beneficiaries with the opportunity to look at the most appropriate outcomes for people, instead of the top-down approach of contracts for service delivery.
