Can you tell me how many charities have applied for the above fund to date, and what the total amount of the awarded grants is for those charities.

Response

NOTICE OF REFUSAL

This information is not recorded. To obtain it would require us to manually check every single application on every individual discretionary scheme to ascertain if a charity has been awarded funds. This would far exceed the time limit set out by the Information Commissioner therefore under S12 of the Freedom of information Act 2000 provides an exemption from the obligation to comply with a request for information if the estimated costs of complying with that request would exceed the prescribed appropriate limit.

We estimate that the costs of complying with your request would exceed the appropriate limit by a significant amount.

For this reason we feel unable to comply with this request.
