Renaisi Carries out Project Appraisals
In November 2008, Renaisi was commissioned by Tower Hamlets Partnership to complete the external appraisal process for London borough of Tower Hamlets Working Neighbourhood Fund (WNF) programme.
WNF is a new government funding stream element of the Area Based Grant that is aimed at tackling worklessness, and has been allocated to local authorities were evidence shows there are significant challenges of high numbers of people without work and low levels of skills/enterprise. The London Borough of Tower Hamlets was allocated a total of £32.6 million WNF of which £23.6 million is to be allocated through strategic commissioning for project delivery in 2009/10 and 2010/11.
Throughout the end of 2008 Renaisi undertook an initial appraisal process of all the proposals received. The process assessed their suitability and fit within Tower Hamlets WNF programme strategy. This initial appraisal process helped Tower Hamlets Partnership to develop the programme and select the projects to be funded with the resources available. Renaisi then undertook a 2nd stage appraisal process, which involved further development of those projects selected to ensure they were able to deliver and could commence delivery in April 2009.
