Members discussed the application and, in response to a Member’s question, officers confirmed that free reserves of £812,525 were forecast for the next financial year (2015/16), £690,000 of which had been allocated for activities to benefit the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO)’s membership. The Committee voiced its support for the merge, but queried the recommended grant in relation to the level of benefit London would receive, and suggested a more proportionate amount be funded.

RESOLVED – That a grant of £25,000 over one year to the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) be approved, to support the successful merger between NCVO and the Charities Evaluation Services (CES).
