West Lothian voluntary groups will be able to apply for two year funding starting in January as the council redraws its grants process for the sector.
Other moves will see groups winning an extra three months’ funding to take them to the end of June before the start of a new funding year.
The council's executive agreed to award the 28 organisations currently funded an extra £280,000 to secure them through to the end of June before the new funding year starts.
