Open 4 Public Sector

Open 4 Public Sector is a time and cost-effective way of bringing together all the funding opportunities available to local public sector bodies.

It enables councils to provide a complete, easily searchable directory of all the European Union, national, regional and local funding sources available to schools, colleges and universities, the emergency services, libraries and NHS bodies in their area.

Many public sector bodies don’t realise they are actually eligible to apply for support from a whole host of funding schemes that they probably think are targeted at community or private sector organisations.

Open 4 Public Sector includes all the programmes available at local, regional, national and European levels, from loans to improve energy efficiency and staff training funds, to grants for renovating buildings and purchasing new equipment.

Through Open 4 Public Sector, organisations will be able to see for themselves what funding is available - who knows, if they successfully apply to these alternative funding sources, it may reduce the demand for local authority support?
