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](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/grants),
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”.
