Camden Council and Camden’s Voluntary and Community Sector Consultation
![]()
Proposed timetable is
Interim Arrangements Organisations currently in receipt of Communities Centres funding, Open Spaces for Young People funding, and those currently benefiting from Rent Relief will have these funding arrangements extended for the nine months up to 31 December 2016 at current levels of funding. An equalities assessment is being undertaken in relation to the investment application process. This will identify key equalities groups who are currently funded by the Council to deliver projects and who may be at risk due to that funding ending in March 2016. These will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. The proposals have been very warmly received in today’s Guardian. |
