Funding for the Campaigning Research Programme has been transferred to the Hardship Fund to support frontline recession-related services. This programme no longer exists and therefore there are no projects shortlisted for funding.

I have been asked to reply.Capacitybuilders is an Executive NDPB, accountable to the Minister for the Cabinet Office. The grant in aid paid by Cabinet Office to Capacitybuilders in each year since its inception is set out as follows. Capacitybuilders disburses grants to a range of third sector organisations: breaking this down between charities and other recipients would incur a disproportionate cost. Expenditure on consultancy as defined by the Office of Government Commerce has not been collated and analysed by Capacitybuilders prior to 2009-10, and could not be provided except at disproportionate cost. However, this information is being routinely collected from 2009-10 onwards.
| Grant in aid (£) | |
| 2006-07 | 37,298,000 |
| 2007-08 | 32,800,000 |
| 2008-09 | 30,178,000 |

The members of the selection panel are: Angela Sarkis (chair on panel, member of Capacitybuilders Board), Titus Alexander (Novas Scarman), Rachael Stokes (NCVO) and Jessica Ellis (Capacitybuilders)The panel have short listed 49 organisations at this stage in the process.As this is an action research programme, short listing decisions were based largely on ensuring that the projects proceeding to the next stage of selection include a spread of; geographic location, the marginalised group which is the focus of the campaign, and the age, size and turnover of the nominated organisation. Not being short listed should in no way be seen as a judgment on the campaign's significance or potential.The final programme will support up to 30 organisations through a package of grant funding, mentoring, peer support and training. The panel will meet again in October 2009 to make the final selection, which will again be based upon maintaining a diverse range of projects. Initial research findings will be available in spring 2010.

There have been no direct awards from Capacity builders to charitable organisations active in Tamworth in the last 12 months, however, Capacitybuilders have made two awards to the Staffordshire Consortium, one of whose members is the Tamworth Council for Voluntary Service, which will benefit from this funding. The first award was a Consortium Development grant of £52,000 in 2008-09. The second was a modernisation programme grant of £41,596 in 2008-09 to ensure common standards and access across the nine volunteer centres in the district, which is work being led by Tamworth CVS.

In March this year, my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary announced a further £70 million for change up and his intention to set up the Capacity Builders Agency to take this programme of investment forward. This is in addition to the initial £80 million investment in the change up programme from 2004–2006.Change up is a capacity building framework for the voluntary and community sector, which has a ten year vision that by 2014 the needs of frontline voluntary and community organisations will be met by nationwide support which is structured for maximum efficiency, offers provision which is accessible to all, reflects and promotes diversity and is sustainably funded.The Capacity Builders Agency will build on the good work to date and will manage the change up framework at arms-length from Government. It will take ownership of fund management, ensure the programme is joined up and co-ordinated, mainstream diversity issues into the design and delivery of activities within change up and ensure real time action learning and longer term evaluation.On 16 November, my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary announced the agency's new top team. The new chair is Chris Pond, the chief executive of the National Council for One Parent Families and formerly MP for Gravesham (1997–2005) and Parliamentary under Secretary of State at the Department of Work and Pensions. Simon Hebditch has been named chief executive of the agency.Simon is currently executive director of external affairs for the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF). The chair and chief executive will be joined by a board consisting of: Caryl Agard, David Baxter, Margaret Bolton, David Harbourne, Roger Singleton and Margaret Talbot. Work is also continuing on the location, shape and function of the agency. A programme board which comprises representation from central and local Government and the sector meets every six weeks to drive forward the establishment of the Capacity Builders Agency.
