Following on from the DCEDIY’s announcement on the 22 June, the application process for the Core Funding 2023/2024 programme year will open at 12pm today 23 June 2023.
In advance of submitting a 2023/2024 Core Funding Application, Partner Services must ensure that their Service Profile is up to date, and that they have completed the 2022/2023 Annual Early Years Sector Profile Survey.
Existing Core Funding Partner Services who have completed the June Review and Confirm process and are at an approved status will be able to transfer their most recent Core Funding Application data into their new Core Funding Application Module for 2023/2024. To submit a 2023/2024 Core Funding application Module please go to the Programmes page of the Early Years Hive.
Once a partner service has submitted their application, they have a 14-day window to activate the Core Funding Partner Service Funding Agreement 2023 which they will find on the Programmes page of the Early Years Hive in the Available Programme Applications section.
You can view a copy of the Core Funding Partner Service Funding Agreement 2023 in Core Funding Documents or else at the below link: ·
