Birmingham City Council - Working Neighbourhood Fund Programme Evaluation

Birmingham Working Neighbourhoods Fund Evaluations Published

The Birmingham Working Neighbourhoods Fund (WNF) ran from 2008-2011 to help tackle worklessness and low levels of skills and enterprise, in areas of high deprivation. DC Research led a team that was appointed in January 2011 to evaluate how the WNF, managed by the Birmingham Economic Development Partnership, was used. The Final Reports have been published by Birmingham City Council and are available by clicking the links below:
