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:
Training
for the Disabled
Life opportunities for disadvantaged people and
those with a disability aged 16 – 25 will be
enhanced by providing training and employment through
this scheme. These people do not fit the criteria
for classification as disabled as described by Social
Services. Therefore the project represents an extension
of the No Barriers project which gives an integrated
package of training and supported employment to those
registered with Social Services.
In practical terms the project will deliver:
- ICT training using the European Computer Driving
Licence Stage 1 as its focus
- First Aid training
- Life skills training
The course is delivered in Ryde and also offers
a free crèche for all participants.

Training Through Self-Build
The aim of this project is to provide thirteen
workers who have a construction industry background
but have had no previous structured training, with
comprehensive training packages as they build their
own homes.
The training provided will cover not only construction
skills but also health-related topics – health
and safety, first aid, budgeting and ordering, book-keeping
as well as site management and communication skills.
As there are thirteen people taking part this also
mean that they will be building thirteen affordable
family homes.

Vectis Boating and Fishing
Club
The Vectis Boating and Fishing Club is believed
to be the oldest sea angling club in England, having
been formed as the Ryde Working Mans Rowing Club
in 1861. SRB funding was sought in order to achieve
the following two aims:
• The construction of a new public slipway
• The development of a new clubhouse
The slipway will be on the north side of the harbour
car park and will be designated as a public slipway
upon completion.
The existing clubhouse hut will be replaced by a
larger and more convenient purpose built clubhouse
that will have a more efficient use of space and
incorporate disabled access.

Wight 2B Heard Co-ordinator
The Wight 2B Heard Conference has proved to be
an extremely useful tool in giving young people a
democratic voice. However, whilst the conference
gives them a chance to express their views to those
organisations that make decisions that affect their
lives, the outcomes of the conference cannot be fully
capitalised upon without the provision of a dedicated
co-ordinator.
The co-ordinator will be able to:
• Develop appropriate lines of communication
between young people and relevant agencies
• Ensure and maintain appropriate avenues of communication between Wight
2 Be Heard activities and key stakeholder agencies
• Arrange group meetings and workshops to pursue specific topics brought
up at conferences
• Ensure young people’s views are followed up
• Promote further involvement in the Wight 2B Heard Conferences
• Promote better links between youth organisations on the Island

Wootton Bridge Help Centre
The need for a community information centre was
highlighted in the Wootton Bridge Village Design
Statement that forms the basis of the village plan.
Both of these were put together with the help of
extensive public consultation.
This project included the purchase of two buildings
in Wootton which are designed to:
- Promote village cohesion
- Provide readily available help and information
on a variety of social and community issues
- Be a centre for the provision of local services
- Encourage appreciation of the village environment
and heritage
- Promote local businesses

Young Persons Conference
Wight 2B Heard is a group led by young people for
a variety of organisations and educational establishments.
This group established a need for young people on
the Island to feel part of the decision making process.
SRB funding was sought in order for a young persons
conference to take place in Ryde in March 2000. SRB
funding was necessary to kick start the event that
will hopefully become sustainable through other means
once the project has taken off.
Young people will be brought together on the same
platform as the key service delivery agents so that
they can have their say in a format that will have
some impact. These conferences will give young people
a very chance to become part of the decision making
process on the Island by facilitating dialogue.

Youth Arts Base
Youth arts development on the Isle of Wight was
seen to need a strategic base. The concept of this
project evolved from strategic planning over several
years and fulfils the requirements identified by
the IW Council’s audit of youth arts.
The project has four major aims and objectives:
- To provide an accessible platform and opportunity
for young people and the wider community to be
involved in exciting and innovative arts initiatives.
- To raise the profile of youth arts on the Isle
of Wight in a local and regional context
- To nurture and develop the skills of Island-based
young professional artists
- To increase the number of opportunities for
young people and the wider Island community to
experience and participate in the arts
The ‘Platform’ can be seen as a central
resource of expertise to be drawn upon as well as
equipment and instruments.
