16m fund invites bids from parenting services

Parenting services across the UK will be able to apply for funding from a new 16m cash injection by the DCSF to the Parenting Fund, run by the Family and Parenting Institute.

The third round of the fund will allow charities and voluntary organisations in 23 areas of the country to apply for funding for projects that help strengthen troubled family relationships and provide support.

Honor Rhodes, the institute's director of development, said, 'We are delighted that there will be a Parenting Fund round three. The first two rounds showed us all how much can be achieved by the voluntary sector, working in such imaginative ways with families.

'This new fund will allow new ideas for effective work with families to be tested. We are looking forward to seeing lots of applications. Some projects will develop services for children affected by violence, and we are really delighted that the importance of the parental couple relationship is identified as a key concern.'
