To ask the Scottish Executive what the next phase of the voluntary sector funding review will be and when it will commence.

The current review of funding for the voluntary sector is looking at the Executive's own grant-making procedures, with a view to developing a co-ordinated Executive funding strategy for the voluntary sector. The next stage will be a wider, strategic funding review. As well as looking at the wider issues identified in the direct funding consultation paper, it will look at how the Executive's indirect funding meets the needs of the sector and whether it is possible for all the indirect funders to work together to ensure that they are operating in a way that meets their own needs and those of the sector.We expect the wider review to commence in the summer.
