The Cabinet Member received a report that sought approval for three year funding agreements to 31 March 2018 with York Centre for Voluntary Services (CVS), York Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) and the Welfare Benefits Unit (WBU).

Officers gave an update and confirmed they had negotiated with each organisation to agree a three year partnership funding.

It was noted that a new Chief Executive of the CVS had been appointed and he was currently considering the services they offered to the sector. These would be launched in April and it was agreed that officers monitor the arrangements and the Service Level Agreement (SLA) against the new proposals.
