The Sustainable Social Services Third Sector Grant 2020-23 was subject to a competitive bidding exercise during the Summer of 2019. In light of pandemic-related pressures the duration of the grant was subsequently extended by two years and it will come the end of its designed life in March 2025. Future arrangements, including the level of any investment, are currently being considered and will be communicated to the sector as soon as possible.
