Consultation process
Organisations in theme 5 were notified 6 months in advance that their projects will be coming to an end. All were aware, within their grant agreements, that funding would be up to March 2017. Organisations have been given the option of being referred to the Tower Hamlets CVS for support. In addition to this, a menu of support has been made available to all organisations during the transition from Grant Funding to co-commissioning of the cohesion work.
Workshops and individual meetings with organisations.
