The Co-location Fund was set up to support capital investment
in joined-up facilities.
Projects include development of facilities for children and
young people's services, including children's centres; careers
advice; youth clubs; health services, including mental health,
drug and alcohol treatment centres; family support services;
Combined Cadet Force facilities; and independent housing for
young people leaving care to help their transition into
longer-term, more permanent accommodation.
The funding is adding value to other sources of capital funding
including BSF and Primary Capital programmes, NHS LIFT
investment and regeneration funding.
Examples of schemes benefitting include:
- Essex (£50,000) - investment in a mobile facility to
deliver support to young families in rural communities.
- Hillingdon (£60,000) - creation of a "virtual network",
focused around using technology to engage and support the
500 young people across the borough currently disengaged
from existing services and facilities because of Illness or
phobia, pregnancy, bullying or disaffection, travelling,
exclusion or because they are in care.
- Nottingham (£8.3m) - Development of two "joint service
centres" in Bulwell and St Ann's, providing GP practices and
other primary care services, library, and space for a range
of other facilities including a youth centre with sports and
recording facilities, play centre, housing office, and
family support services.
- Lewisham (£5.5m) - As part of the development of
Tidesmill School, Deptford, this project will create a range
of facilities for wider community use including a library
and family support services.
- Brighton and Hove (£5.4m) - Community hub that connects
a primary school, GP surgery, a Children's Centre and
Discovery Centre / library
