About
Funding
WEP is now funded by Camden Council through a commissioning arrangement to manage a range of accessible services to disadvantaged communities, under the Community Buildings category of Voluntary and Community Sector funding. The agreement started on 1st July 2009 and will run until March 2011. The funds include salaries for directly employing staff.
In November 2008, the Big Lottery Reaching Communities Fund granted an award to West Euston Partnership of £499,197 over three years. Draw down and start up of the programme of health and well-being work, delivered by the West Euston Healthy Community Project partners, started in May 2009.

Funding history
West Euston Partnership continues to flourish well after the end of a £6.5 million central government grant for a 5 year programme of Single Regeneration Budget (SRB). Together with funding from the public and private sectors, over £26 million was spent on the area by the end of the SRB funding in March 2002. Much of the work was capital improvements to local authority housing.
Core funding from Camden Council has made continuity possible and this has meant that WEP has been able to draw in over 2.5 million of external funding since the end of SRB, up to March 2008. This includes funds from the Big Lottery (almost £1million over 5 years) as well as the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund, London Development Agency, Independent Advice and Guidance funds, Camden’s Local Area Agreement, and the private sector.
