2.2 A number of groups were discussed in particular by the Committee:
East Belfast Victims Support Group, Omagh Support & Self Help Group and Rural Health Partnership
These are all relatively new groups in terms of their capacity. It was agreed that since they did not meet the threshold they would receive development support through the Assessment Officers and would be directed to the small grants scheme.
HURT and PAIN
It was agreed that these two groups would be deferred as they are currently engaged in an audit process commissioned by the NIO, further information will be sought from the NIO.
3. Communication to applicants
It was agreed that all groups will be informed in writing as to the outcome of their application. Groups that were not allocated funding will be given clarification on the reasons they were not successful.
It was agreed that all groups will be informed of the review process.
3. AOB
3.1 Clarification was sought since some group's core funding from the last Scheme does not terminate until June 2003. Ms Mackin asked Ms Todd if the total amount for these particular groups was up to 2 years or 2 years in full. Ms Todd confirmed that it was 2 years in full from the date of the termination of the last scheme. Ms Mackin advised that this would need future discussion since CRC's Assessment Officers contracts terminate in December 2005 and this does not coincide with the end of the scheme. It was agreed to discuss this issue at a later date.
4. Date of next meeting:
Friday 29 May 2003 at CRC offices.
