Inter-Link
Capability Model (ILCM)
The Inter-Link Capability Model (ILCM) is the next step
for community and voluntary groups that are already members
of networks, forums or Inter-Links, have made use of training
courses, but still want to improve.
The ILCM is a new way of working and designed to improve
capability and build capacity. The model aims to help members
through an increasingly difficult period where funding is
becoming harder to access and many more organisations are
being encouraged to consider contracts (e.g. from Local
Authorities).
The Inter-Link Model is a process for Voluntary and Community
Organisations that allows them to demonstrate their capabilities
so that they are in better position to bid for funding and/or
contracts. For further information contact you local Inter-Link
Officer Click here or alternative
