REVIEW OF GRANTS SCRUTINY SUB-COMMITTEE AND WORK PROGRAMME REPORT UPDATE
TO FOLLOW.
Minutes:
The Sub Committee were informed by Vicky Allen (Strategy, Policy & Performance Officer) that one of the recommendations was to ‘consider looking at arrangements the council puts in place to support local organisations with a move to a more commissioning-based approach’ and at the September meeting, the Sub Committee considered a report about the Community Engagement, Cohesion and Resilience commissioning arrangements starting in the new financial year. She also stated that it should review the arrangements that the Council is putting in place to support local organisations with a move to a more commissioning-based approach. This will include an overview of the co-commissioning approach, an update on progress to date, feedback from the CVS on the needs of the voluntary and community sector, and details of activities currently being undertaken by both the Council and the CVS to support the sector. A presentation spotlight session would be added to the agenda in the New Year. An end of pilot evaluation report of the Community Engagement, Cohesion and Resilience theme commissioning will also be added to the GSSC forward plan.
The Sub Committee agreed to receive a report providing an overview of grants in the Council at the next meeting.
