The Cabinet Office has not directly funded these organisations in the last 24 months.
Over the past two years Capacitybuilders has awarded grants to Greater Manchester Centre for Voluntary Organisations (GMCVO) under various programmes. GMCVO is the accountable body for Greater Manchester Voluntary Sector Support and. Greater Manchester Voluntary Sector Learning Consortium, so these are not independent organisations.
The total funding received is as follows:
Financial year Funding to GMCVO (£) 2006-07 540,847 2007-08 460,021 Total 1,000,868
Figures for the 2008-09 financial year will be available once the departmental accounts have been audited and laid before Parliament, expected to be shortly before the summer recess.
