regional deliverers (4 or more districts) = £29,329

– 75% split across each district based on population split

– See page 7-8 of Briefing Note for District allocations

Ways for NGBs to Engage

• Option One – Sub-Regional Pot– 4 or more Districts– Submit plans directly to SASSOT– Scoring criteria– Sub-region wide coverage across the Pot

• Option Two – via Local Delivery Plans– 3 or less Districts (recommended)– Liaise with Local Lead Organisation– NGBs may approach Local Leads, or Local Deliverers may

approach NGBs

• Option Three – ‘Offer’ to other Partners– SASSOT to circulate to key deliverers

• Two-way communication must take place between NGBs and Local Leads

8

Funding v Targets

• Max £80 per head RETAINED– Will need to recruit substantially more

participants

• Max 50% paid up front – The rest will be paid in arrears after financial

reconciliation and KPIs received

• Max £80 per head across all your projects (during a 6-month period) will be paid out, even if your actual costs are higher

9

Funding v Targets

• Example One– You plan to run two activities during the same

quarter, each planned to cost £500 and each planned to retain 10 people

– One actually costs £500 and retains 12• Cost per head = £41.67

– One actually costs £600 and retains 4• Cost per head = £150

– Across both projects, total cost = £1100, Retain = 16, so average cost per head across both projects = £68.75, so all costs will be paid

10

Funding v Targets

• Example Two– You plan to run two activities during the same quarter, each

planned to cost £500 and each planned to retain 10 people– One actually costs £500 and retains 8

• Cost per head = £62.50

– One actually costs £600 and retains 4• Cost per head = £150

– Across both projects, total cost = £1100, Retain = 12, so average cost per head across both projects = £91.67

– Maximum paid = 12 (Retain) x £80 = £960

• Key Messages– Aim for lower cost per head wherever possible– Focus on incentives to ensure participants retained– Balance innovative ‘risky’ projects with tried-and-tested ‘safe’

ones
