06 PROJECT UPDATES: CROSSFIRE TRUST AND WESTWAY PRODUCTIONS/CHANNEL 4
05/0666/029970 Crossfire Trust
Members were advised that Crossfire Trust were awarded £160k (at the EU Committee Meeting on 7 & 8th December 05). The group has advised that due to organisational difficulties they are unable to deliver the project as originally proposed. Attempts to explore different mechanisms (alternative host organisation) in order to deliver the project have proved unsuccessful. The group has therefore had to decline the Measure 2:1 award offer.
05/0587/031098 Westway Film Productions/Channel 4
Members were advised that Westway Productions/Channel 4 was made an award offer (in principle) of £200k at the EU Committee meeting in December 2005 on the condition that they could source match funding of £250k (within 6 months) by end June 2006. Westway has informed CRC that they were unable to secure match funding for the project and also advised that they had concerns about their organisational capacity in the bureaucratic roll out (structure, procedures, payments etc) of the Peace II Extension Programme. For the reasons outlined the group has therefore had to decline the Measure 2:1 award offer.
Committee were advised that the budget available for the 2nd tranche of Measure 2:1 Project Funding (decisions to be taken at an EU Committee Meeting on 7th July 2006) was c£1million.
