Item 5 - Priority 3: Tackling poverty through employment - partner perspective (G11/18

Summary    

At the Grants Committee AGM in July 2018, Committee members requested that a provider delivering the Priority 3 programme attend the next meeting to reflect on the partner perspective, given the significant challenges and under-performance of the priority.
Redbridge CVS delivers two commissions for Priority 3; this represents slightly more than a third of activity across the priority.
Ross Diamond, the Chief Executive of Redbridge CVS, has kindly agreed to join Grants Committee on 21 November to take questions and discuss the programme. Mr Diamond has provided a short paper for members, to introduce his organisation and note some of the challenges with delivering the programme.
