The Project Team
Funders like to know about who will be carrying out the work. This does not mean they want to know the names of all the people involved. Really it is about identifying the roles that will need to be played and how many people will be needed. For some activities this will be really straight forward but for others much more complicated.
As an example you want to develop a project that provides support to older people with the upkeep of their gardens. You have already identified the outcomes (benefits) and the outputs (the activities) and you know how many people it is likely to take to deliver the project. Your project team might look like this:
Project Manager (15 hours a week)
Volunteer Co-ordinator (10 hours a week)
Garden Team Supervisor (30 hours a week) – includes driving the van
15 young volunteers
For a major training initiative the team might be much larger and more detailed. Perhaps something like this:
Project Manager
Senior Trainer
6 Trainers
Course administrator
Student Welfare Officer
ICT Support worker
Promotion Officer (10 hours a week)
Whatever the team will look like include all the roles that will be necessary to successfully complete the project. It may also be useful to prepare a short description of each of the roles so that there is clarity about what each post within the team is really about. Of course the size of the team and whether or not they are paid or volunteers will have a big impact on the budget.
