Call for ideas to green public services

Innovation Exchange, the public and voluntary sector ideas brokerage, is seeking high-potential ‘third-sector’ innovation projects that could participate in its new ‘Green Next Practice’ programme.

The programme will provide brokerage support to five or six third-sector innovation projects with the potential to green public services. The projects might seek to deliver public services, work for public services or influence public service strategies. The Innovation Exchange believes that public services can play a leading role in greening the UK.

The programme has six things to offer the third sector: practical support, links to policymakers and investors, links to public services, coaching and facilitation, networking events to develop and share work and promotion through Innovation Exchange itself.

Application should be received by 2 June 2010. Any questions regarding the Green Next Practice Programme should be directed to Raj Cheema on 020 7259 1368.
