(i)         that approval be given to the allocation of the Main Programme Grants for 2010/11 as summarised in Appendix A and detailed in individual reports attached as Appendix B to the report from the Director of Housing and Community Care; 

(ii)        that it be noted that the funding recommendations will commence on 1^st July 2010;

(iii)       that all funding made be subject to the Council’s Grant Conditions, and that the funding be subject to each organisation agreeing and abiding by a statement of purpose with the Council;

(iv)       that it be noted that of the 12 organisations that previously received funding in 2009/10, 11 have re-applied.  One organisation did not re-apply and therefore has not been recommended for the grant.  Another organisation also applied for the three-year funding and has been recommended and therefore its one- year grant has not been recommended.

The report from the Director of Housing and Community Care provided the Executive with details of local voluntary organisations that have applied for renewal of their one year funding from the Council’s Main Programme Grant (MPG) for 2010/11. In November 2008, the Executive agreed that each year a grant would be provided to currently funded organisations not affected by the new three-year funding programme. The groups recommended in the Director’s report have been in receipt of the MPG for some time and pending the change in the funding process, would continue to receive funding until they were eligible to apply for the new three-year programme. The report provided details of the funding that will be renewed for 2010/11.
