§ Mr. LidingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the beneficiaries of(a) community support grant and (b) family support grant in (i) 1999–2000 and (ii) 2000–01, giving the sums of money paid in each grant. [129525]
§ Mr. Boateng[holding answer 7 July 2000]: The Family Support Grant is a programme of funding for voluntary organisations which first became available in 598W 1998 when it was announced that £7 million would be made available over three years. The first £1 million of awards for 1999–2000 were announced in June 1999 and a further £3 million was announced in April 2000 for 2000–01. Additionally, it was agreed that the new National Family and Parenting Institute would receive £247,000 from the Home Office as part of a "joined up" funding package from five other Departments and the Welsh Assembly totalling £2 million over the three years. 1999–2002 Parentline Plus would receive £310,000 for each of the financial years in question in order to develop and expand the services already provided to parents by introducing a national freephone telephone helpline for parents.
Funding under the open competition in both bidding rounds has gone to a range of national and local organisations across the country under three strands to help support infrastructure organisations and to promote innovative work with families. Each year a grant is made available to fund projects with a specific theme aimed at plugging gap areas in provision. In 1999 the theme was working with boys, young men and fathers. This year projects working on the parenting of teenagers have been funded.
Grants paid out in the year April 1999–2000 are available for up to three years and for 2000–01 for up to two years. Grants given to voluntary organisation projects are listed; figures are given per project for both 1999–2000 and 2000–01 where applicable.
