B

One request for funding from the COCF was received and had to be declined during this period.

The request was received from Community Savings Ltd for an unspecified amount as a grant to cover past service and an ongoing grant of £25,000 per annum. The volatile and unpredictable nature of this fund means it cannot be relied upon to make regular payments. This policy has been in place for a number of years and has not been breached.
