Single
Regeneration Budget V (SRB V)
The Single Regeneration Budget supports
regeneration initiatives to improve the quality of
life of people living in deprived areas by reducing
the gap between have and have-nots.
It supports projects aimed at:
- Improving the employment prospects, education
and skills of local people
- Addressing social exclusion an improving opportunities
for the disadvantaged
- Promoting sustainable regeneration, improve
and protect the environment and infrastructure,
including housing
- Supporting and promoting growth in local economies
and businesses
- Reducing crime and drug abuse and improve community
safety
SRB is delivered through the regional development
agencies – in the Island’s case SEEDA.
More than 900 schemes have been approved nationally,
worth over £5.5 billion.
SRB comes in six annual rounds. The Isle of Wight
Economic Partnership co-ordinates and facilitates
four of those on the Island.
SRB V - Island Inclusive
Started in 1998, Island
Inclusive funding runs until 2004.
SRB V supports a range of projects across the Isle
of Wight. They are:
Island
Social Audit
The primary aim of this audit is to collate and
analyse all existing survey and research material
in order to create a product that can be used to
define social, health, economic and community priorities
for the Island. The final product is intended for
use by partnerships and organisations that need to
draw together information from a variety of different
sources for funding applications, as well as being
a valuable resource for members of the public.
This will be done through the acquisition and use
of modern equipment and software packages and the
employment of a dedicated Social Audit worker. All
statistical information will be distributed via the
internet.

Local Strategic Partnership
LSP’s are an integral part of wider Government
reforms to improve services to the public and reconnect
them with the communities they serve. On the Island
the intention is to hold a number of facilitated
meetings around key local issues in order to build
commitment to the development of a community strategy
looking 10 – 15 years into the future.
SRB funding was sought in order to match the funding
put in by the Council’s own sources allowing
a bigger programme of events, the involvement of
a wider range of organisations and to draw up a more
thorough mapping of the issues that the LSP will
have to tackle once it is up and running.

and a look at projects with the people who have
benefited from them
- 5 minute promotional film on SRB, for use at

One Stop Shop Feasibility Study
The Isle of Wight Connexions Partnership commissioned
a ‘Youth Information Study’ with the
aim of identifying Island agencies involved in youth
support and to gather any plan or strategy that they
produce or work to.
It achieved this but the study also highlighted
a series of issues concerning the provision of services
and activities for young people on the Island. It
recommended investigating the viability of providing
a one stop youth support bureau.
This project set out to conduct that investigation
and to identify additional mechanisms by which to
build effective partnerships between young people
and service providers on the Island.

Platform One
 Youth arts on the Island has grown significantly
over the last few years, there is now a mass of enthusiasm
and talent. Projects have evolved through commitment
and determination on the part of the IW Council along
with other organisations.
This project reflects a continuation of the work
developed by Platform One and further anticipates
the move towards establishing a youth arts base.
SRB funding was sought in order to consolidate the
youth arts work on the Island. The work identifies
disenfranchised young people although it does not
intend to single this group out but rather to ensure
equality of opportunities.

Ryde Research Agency
This project aimed to complete an aspect of the
mid-term evaluation of the Single Regeneration Budget
programmes being delivered by the Isle of Wight Economic
Partnership on the Island. SRB funding was required
to cover the costs of the evaluation regarding labour,
stationery, travel and reprographics.
This was done in two streams:
• By a critical review of the administrative
systems and structures that support SRB programmes.
Specifically to review the system of submitting proposals
for project management and involving an examination
of the procedures for encouraging community groups
to submit proposals.
• By a critical examination of the effectiveness of communication between
partners and administrators of the SRB.

Salisbury Way
This project was set up to establish community
safety initiatives on two estates in Sandown, on
behalf of approximately one hundred families. This
included establishing a play area for children and
employing a full-time Community Estates Officer to
work with residents associations and young people.
SRB funding will allow for the play area to be properly
equipped and also to fund the salary of the Community
Estates Officer.
This will help to meet the aims of community development
and also help to ease the social exclusion in the
estates.

Third Sector Baseline Study
Before this project there was no baseline data
in terms of the number of voluntary sector organisations
operating on the Island, their size or their contribution
to the Island’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
It was not known how many paid staff were employed
in the Island’s third sector.
The overall aim of this project was to establish
this baseline data which would enable organisations
to:
• inform future development on the Island
• establish the current position
• assess key drivers and inhibitors
• assess the potential for increased or enhanced voluntary sector contributions
• enable viable and realistic recommendations for change
