Received a report outlining proposals on how
the Council’s corporate grants programme will be utilised to
support local voluntary and community sector organisations in 2004
/ 2005.
Agreed, in order to
allocate corporate grant funding to voluntary sector organisations,
that:
- Any
voluntary sector organisation receiving funding from the corporate
grants programme will at best receive a standstill amount for 2004
/ 2005 compared with 2003 / 2004;
- Those organisations delivering health and social care or
education services are funded through the Social Services or the
Education Formula Spending Share (£121,700 in 2004 / 2005)
allocated as per Appendix 2 of the report;
- The
corporate grants programme for 2004 / 2005 will be £531,037,
which represents a budget reduction of £185,859 allocated as
per Appendix 1 of the report;
- The
necessary budget adjustments are made to meet the required budget
reduction; and
- In
view of the significant reduction in overall budget, that no single
organisation receives a grant above £150,000.
