Answer
We are currently considering the recommendations of the T:BUC Review, which includes an assessment of structures and governance around existing funding streams.
Currently, Good Relations programmes fund constituted organisations, not individuals. Any group found to breach the conditions of their Letter of Offer can have funding withheld/withdrawn.
