Description:

As Cohort 1 Towns receive their Heads of Terms and move into Stage 2 of the Towns Fund programme, this webinar will provide an introduction to the Business Case process in the context of Towns Fund.

It will include:

• an overview of the HM Green Book 5-case model and

• provide some overarching advice on how to approach the five cases, including a checklist for key content for each case

• emerging Towns Funds specific business case guidance

As part of the Q&A process, the event presenters would welcome ideas for future business case guidance and resources that the Towns Fund Delivery Partner could develop.
