Shopping, Investing & Giving

The Council's VCS Unit Co-ordinator Jenny Murray talked about a suggested model for future funding of the VCS called Shopping, Investing and Giving.  She explained that the model had been developed as a result of feedback from the VCS, and with the support of Councillors, VCS advisors and Council officers.  A report will be considered by Cabinet on 8th March 2007.  She asked delegaes to identify the strenghts, weaknesses, opportunities and threats they may feel as a result of the Council taking on board Shopping Investing and Giving.  This information has been used to help shape the report which will be considered by Cabinet.
