1. The total amount of grant funding awarded by the Council to third sector organisations, including charities, voluntary organisations, community groups, and other not-for-profit bodies.
2. If available, please provide the totals broken down by financial year.

For the purposes of this request, “third sector organisations” refers to charities, voluntary organisations, community groups, and other not-for-profit entities receiving grant funding from the Council, excluding payments made under procurement contracts or commissioned services.

This request seeks aggregate financial totals only and does not require disclosure of individual organisation names unless this is the most readily available format.

If complying with this request in full would exceed the appropriate cost limit under Section 12 of the Act, please provide the information at the highest level of aggregation available and advise how the request could be refined to fall within scope.
