Voluntary Sector Commissioning - Rent Subsidy Review

Overview

The Council is committed to sustaining a vibrant voluntary and community sector and recognises its valuable contribution to civic life. As part of its support to the voluntary and community sector, the Council has for many years allowed groups the use of Council owned or leased property. The Council is being more focused on the services it wants to buy and the organisations it wants to support. Priorities change over time and we need to ensure that organisations currently receiving a rent subsidy are still providing services we want to support or buy.

Consultation

The Council consulted with stakeholders on the current rent subsidy model and sought views on future arrangements.
