Description

Strategic Review of Voluntary & Community Sector Grant Funding This review is an element of the council's ongoing improvement journey as it moves out of government intervention. This will be a wholescale review of the level of funding awarded by the Council to VSC organisations in the Borough, how it is allocated and the outcomes achieved from that funding. The outcomes of the review will be an evaluation of the value for money achieved by the current approach, along with recommendations on how to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of grant administration and allocation of funding across the council. It will also aid with the development of a new model of delivery closely aligned to the strategic outcomes of the council, the new Sandwell Place Vision and one that recognises the current and future demographics of the communities of Sandwell and the challenges that they will face. We are seeking an independent person or organisation to conduct the review looking at the Council's relationship with and funding of the voluntary and community sector in Sandwell and make recommendations on how the council can improve the effectiveness of the relationship to improve outcomes for residents. The review will scope all grant funding administered by Sandwell Council to voluntary and community sector organisations operating in the borough of Sandwell, regardless of the source of that grant funding.
