To receive an update on funding to the community, voluntary, faith and not for profit sector.

Consideration was given to an update on Cheshire East Councils funding to the community, voluntary, faith and not for profit sector. It also provided a summary of the current funding position and key issues of note. It was highlighted that the total level of funding to the sector was now approximately £5.9m which was a slight reduction from 2011/12 where the figure was £6.3m.

A summary table of Cheshire East Councils funding to date was circulated round the table. It was agreed that this table should be circulated to all Members of the Council.
