Corporate Services Grants Programme 2017-19

Successful organisations began delivering their projects from April 2017.

See the Key Decision report announcing the grant allocations for 2017/18 and indicatively for 2018/19.

The Council is keen to ensure that local groups continue to deliver a range of services which respond to and meet areas of local need. Organisations awarded a grant under the Corporate Services Grants Programme 2017-19 are being encouraged to deliver services as efficiently as possible, to evidence what impact they make and to become more sustainable and less reliant on single sources of funding in the future.

In January 2019, organisations currently in receipt of a grant were issued with a Funding Agreement covering the period 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020 via a Key Decision.

In January 2020, the Council took the decision to extend the current grants programme for a final one year period in 2020-21. Those organisations currently in receipt of a grant (listed below) will be issued with a new Funding Agreement covering the period 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021.

See the Key Decision report announcing the grant allocations for 2020/21.

This Decision also confirms a review of the Corporate Services Grant Scheme - to be undertaken by an independent agency. We aim to publish a report of the Review with findings in May.  

See the Key Decision report announcing the grant allocations for 2019/20.

There has been no decision taken to date on the future of the Corporate Services Grant Scheme beyond March 2020.
