Timebank gets £457,500 for new strategic media unit
Howard Lake | 8 October 2003 | News
Volunteering agency TimeBank has been awarded £457,500 by the Community Fund to develop a strategic media unit.
The agency is described by SocietyGuardian as “threatened” financially because its core government funding from the Home Office’s Active Communities Unit (ACU), comprising 72% of its total income, comes to an end in March 2004. It is currently under review.
Timebank will also receive support for the new development from the BBC, Channel 4 and Granada.
