The purpose of this is to target resources at VCSE organisations that are already delivering services in the community to the hardest to reach families. This is to be delivered through the commissioning of an Umbrella Organisation to manage the Together for Families VCSE grants programme and allocate the financial resources to the VCSE. The Troubled Families Programme (named Together for Families in Cornwall) is a cross-government agenda which is led by the Department of Communities and Local Government.

• Improve health and wellbeing
• Reduce costs to the public purse over time
The Service Provider will assist in achieving these aims through the following service objectives:
• Lead, manage and administer a small grants scheme consisting of an annual value of 100K per year which includes the administration and management of the fund by the Service Provider as set out at Schedule 4 of this Invitation to Tender.
• Award and allocation of grants between £500 and £7,000 to VCSE organisations to contribute to the aims and objectives of this specification to include, but not limited to:
