Description

Since carrying out a full property review we have identified our current office in Exeter does not reflect our vision, therefore a new property has been sourced. The new property we have identified will provide much more flexible spaces and will also be suitable to invite in our stakeholders to build upon our relationships within the local community.
The project is primarily to achieve these occupancy requirements (8 permanent desks), and incorporate hot desking facilities, but also to bring the space in line with our desired design that we have already introduced into our Manchester & Leeds offices. It is important to the Fund that the project demonstrates an investment in the wellbeing of its staff whilst being mindful of its obligations to use public funds appropriately.
The Big Lottery Fund's operational office in Exeter needs to reflect, promote and support our ambition of 'People in the Lead' and our Strategic Framework for 2015-21 which will require us to work differently. In future, as a grant maker we will be more open and participatory in how we fund exploring digital and media options and new types of grant making while working more closely with partners and developing stronger local networks and relationships. As a catalyst we want to develop the skills of individuals and communities and support the creation of partnerships to support great community-led activity. As an organisation we will strengthen our networks across the UK to share ideas knowledge and evidence and, recognising that we can't deliver our vision alone, collaborate with those who can make a difference.
