Focus facilitated the local partnership, and delivered a strategic plan to secure the future of a Grade I listed landscape with historically significant buildings in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
Focus were pivotal in making this project happen through securing “Seeds of Success” European funding to finance the early project development work. Without this essential starter funding this project is unlikely to have been progressed and is an example of additionality to the core project management role.
This major environmental and regeneration programme has recently
been awarded funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, against strong
competition in the HLF ‘Beacon’ bidding round.
