Item 14 - Grants Programme 2021-25 (G10/19)

Summary 
 
The current Grants Programme is a four-year programme that is due to complete at the end of March 2021. The programme operates across three priority areas:
Priority 1 - Combatting Homelessness
Priority 2 - Tackling Sexual and Domestic Violence
Priority 3 - Tackling Poverty through Employment
 
Leaders' Committee determines the principles and priorities of the Programme and the overall budget of the Programme. The Grants Committee commissions services, makes awards of funding, manages projects’ performance and may advise Leaders’ Committee on the Programme.
This paper offers options to start developing a future 2021-25 Grants Programme that Grants Committee may wish to consider, and then make recommendations to Leaders’ Committee.
Recommendations 
Grants Committee is asked to:
• discuss and consider a new Grants Programme for 2021-25, and the activities presented at paragraph 4.1 to start the development of the programme
• make recommendations to Leaders' Committee to enable Leaders to determine the principles, priorities and overall budget of the Programme
• task officers with undertaking the detailed work to develop the Programme
• agree that officers should consult with and keep Grants Executive informed of activity before the next Grants Committee meeting in November
