Londoners can still influence how £28 million grants money should be spent
Howard Lake | 20 January 2010 | News
People living in London have until the end of the month to give their views on how a grants budget of up to £28 million will be spent.
London Councils’ consultation into how its grants funding should be prioritised from April 2011 will close on 29 January.
The organisation, one of the largest funders of the capital’s voluntary sector, gives grants to 360 groups across 59 priority areas.
Chairman of London Councils’ Grants Committee, Cllr Lynne Hillan, said: “People need support from voluntary services more than ever in the current financial climate and more responses will mean a more accurate picture of which areas to prioritise.
“Those with an interest in funding the voluntary sector still have a chance to give us their feedback. We urge them to take the time to respond and ensure that these grants provide the maximum benefit for people living in the capital”.
