My Department recognises the important role that volunteers and volunteerism plays in our society and provides grant support in support of volunteerism. The organisation in question has received grant aid in support of its mission to provide assistance in the development of the community and voluntary sector by strengthening boards and management committees, building links between the corporate, public and not-for-profit sectors and encouraging people from the corporate and public sectors to sit on boards of not-for-profit organisations. Grants paid to this organisation by my Department in support of the delivery of its community and voluntary remit since its incorporation in 2005 are shown in the following table.
