The Department has provided funding of £360,000 over the period 1993–94 to 1997–98 as follows:

£
1993–94 92,000
1994–95 84,000

We are currently developing proposals for new funding arrangements to support organisations working in the field of education for citizenship which move away from core funding individual organisations to a more flexible approach which supports overall policy development in this area.
