Update from the Grants and Community Services Forum - July 2010

The review of funding to the VCS by Gloucester City Council, which was promised at the start of this year, has yet to get going and your VCS reps have been very busy trying to make sure that this joint piece of work gets started soon so that there is time to have some meaningful debate before next year’s budget needs to be set.

The Grants and Community Services Forum meeting, due in July, was postponed as there was nothing yet to report back, but we have secured an agreement that this will take place on 15th September and that the review process will be well underway by then. 

Download a briefing for the VCS to update you all on where things are at. It is expected that the VCS reps will be meeting with Council officers and members during August to progress this.
