<p>Civil Society forms an essential part of our communities up and down the country.
It includes large, national charities, social enterprises, volunteers and small grassroots
organisations but what joins them all is the idea of creating social value to help
build a better society. <br> <br> Government funding to civil society is ring-fenced
for particular projects or programmes. Grant agreement terms and conditions prohibit
grant funding being used for paid for lobbying and political campaigning</p><p><br>
Each of the Department’s (MHCLG/DCLG) published Annual Report and Financial Accounts
lists the charitable bodies and the amounts (Section 70 payments) that were funded
by the Department. The Department does not record whether the body is a ‘campaigning
body’. All grant payments over £25,000 are published as part of the Government Transparency
routine.</p><p>Our published Annual Report and Financial Accounts (and lists the charitable
body payments) can be found here <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fcollections%2Fdclg-annual-reports-and-accounts&data=02%7C01%7CParliamentary%40communities.gov.uk%7Cf36f2ba7a1d143b99bec08d7bf7aa58c%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C637188405786751314&sdata=ydEwa%2BBnijQbEQAGNmY%2Fk0sQDM2ThjfdytQyfS1VgtU%3D&reserved=0"
