Consideration was given to a draft framework to guide and govern the Council’s future partnership relationship with the third sector in East Cheshire, as detailed in the report of the People Block Lead Officer.
RESOLVED
For the reasons set out in the report: -
That the principles and direction of the Framework (Appendix 1) be endorsed and the current level of investment (without inflation uplift) be retained in organisations in the sector in 2009/10. In addition, further work from officers be commissioned during the Autumn/Spring to negotiate a new Compact Agreement, develop commissioning policy, asset transfer proposals and a Volunteering Strategy, in partnership with the Third Sector, for consideration by the Council.
