My Department provides funding to national organisations towards core costs (salary and related overheads) associated with the provision of services through the Scheme to Support National Organisations in the Community & Voluntary Sector.  There are no plans, at present, to establish a grant scheme to assist voluntary organisations, or any other organisations funded by my Department, with the costs associated with complying with Government generated regulatory requirements, such as mandatory training and vetting.
