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.
