Challenge 2012 update

The 2011 Budget announced that future decisions on the value of the LCF will take into account the success of Environmental Bodies (EBs) in reducing the level of unspent funds they hold.

The Government issued a challenge to EBs to reduce the level of unspent funds by 15% from the 2009/10 baseline by 31 March 2012 with a corresponding increase in project expenditure.

To help EBs in meeting this challenge, ENTRUST invited the 130 EBs who hold most of the unspent funds to a workshop, to allow EBs to meet together in an informal setting to share and discuss ideas as to how they can practically deliver change with the minimum disruption to their operational structures.
