FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - INFORMATION REQUEST

Your request for information has now been considered and the information requested is below.

Some grants have been approved on a discretionary basis under delegated powers so we will need to consult with third parties on whether or not we can release details of grant payments made. In order to supply the information as fully as possible, I have listed grants where approval is already in the public domain. Those not in the public domain and requiring consent are shown under the heading of other grants, or grouped together under the type of grant. For the purpose of clarity we have supplied information on grant payments made to voluntary and community organisations to support their activities and not where they are commissioned to provide services in return.
