Question
Sir Stephen Timms
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, when his Department plans to publish arrangements for disbursing the £100m of funding for third sector organisations announced in the Spring Budget; and if he will make a statement.
Answer
Stuart AndrewAs announced in the recent Spring Budget, the government will provide over £100 million of support for charities and community organisations in England. This will be targeted towards those organisations most at risk, due to increased demand from vulnerable groups and higher delivery costs, as well as providing investment in energy efficiency.
Work is underway to finalise the delivery time frame and eligibility criteria. Further details will be announced as soon as possible - these will be published on gov.uk and a statement made to the House as appropriate.
