The code requires that local authorities must publish details of all grants to voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. This can be achieved by either:
- Tagging and hence specifically identifying transactions which relate to voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations within published data on expenditure over £500 or published procurement information, or
- By publishing a separate list or register
For each identified grant, the following information must be published as a minimum:
- Date the grant was awarded
- Time period for which the grant has been given
- Local authority department which has awarded the grant
- Beneficiary
- Beneficiary’s registration number (where applicable)
- Summary of the purpose of the grant
- Amount
Hailsham Town Council publishes this information as a separate list, as available in the Minutes of the Finance & Governance Committee.
