Payments to the Registered Charity 'Common Purpose'

Ian Rossiter made this Freedom of Information request to Kent County Council

The request was successful.

From: Ian Rossiter

18 February 2010

Dear Kent County Council,

Further to my previous request for payments to charities; since you
apparently will not, or cannot, give me the information of the
request, I would further request details of all and any payments in
any form - donation, bursary, fees, use of premises, courses,
meetings etc, to either or both bodies called:
a)Common Purpose UK, a subsidiary of (and)
b)The Common Purpose Charitable Trust, with both bodies being
registered with the Charity Commission under the Registered Charity
number 1023384.

Yours faithfully,

Ian Rossiter

If it's any help, KCC has already given similar information to someone else (R Soles) who asked the same last year...
