Thanks for that, it would be great to keep in touch and very interested in the URBACT work around social innovation too.

Eddy Adams replied to GeniUS!'s discussion External Funding Scrutiny Review"Yes - the CfC One Fund to Rule them all work is interesting - interesting that although UK lags well behind the Nordics and Germany in terms of innovation and urban development, I still we are still ahead of the curve on creative thinking around…"
Adam Gray replied to GeniUS!'s discussion External Funding Scrutiny Review"Hi Eddy
Some carefully considered comments here which make a great deal of sense. Despite my job title (i.e. Funding and Investment Officer) I fully agree that initial emphasis should be placed on co-ordinating partners' activities and…"
Eddy Adams replied to GeniUS!'s discussion External Funding Scrutiny Review"Some brief thoughts on this.
Our forthcoming work on social innovation in Europe's cities suggests that although funding is important, in most places the issue is more about total resource mobilisation - maxing what we have. In particular, this…"
Michelle White replied to GeniUS!'s discussion External Funding Scrutiny Review"It needs to be paid work. Its all about feeling there is hope to self support or that one can achieve this even on a small scale would lift a lot of depression etc. There is plenty of voluntary work where you can go as slow as you like but as soon…"

Michelle White replied to GeniUS!'s discussion External Funding Scrutiny Review"Sounds awesome. Im in very anti Millenium dome mindset! Born a Capricorn so Im always focusing on not wasting money.

"Sounds like a really interesting idea Adam,and also the idea of local investors and benefactors helping new businesses the city to develop further sounds laudable. As Carole Dove says, adding in matched funding perhaps through crowdfunding would…"

Michelle White replied to GeniUS!'s discussion External Funding Scrutiny Review"I think it is foolish to focus on winning competitions and becoming famous. To change how the city is run to focus on winning competitions is to spend a lot of money creating systems that squeeze everything bone dry. A huge wealth sucking…"

They all have trained staff who support people accessing information and services in life-critical areas such as careers and job seeking; health;…
