Consultation process
Organisations in receipt of an Ageing Well Small Grant in 2018/19 have been engaged to ensure that the application process is clear and effective. Discussions with the Voluntary and Community Sector Strategy manager have taken place around running the Ageing Well Small Grants fund 2019/20 ahead of the introduction of the introduction of the Council-wide Grants Framework which is due to come into effect in October 2019.
All organisations who received a grant in 2018/19 are required to submit a feedback form, inviting comments on the process and scope of the grant fund.
