A local resident [name] runs a walk and talk session monthly that claims to help vulnerable people with their mental health wellbeing . He has stated  online that he received funding for this from RBWM and Frimley Health . He goes on to say he has had this funding withdrawn because he made some comments online and made on GB News Quote.  I made a comment that calling out Islamic extremism isn’t Islamophobic. Due to that I was labelled racist & Islamophobic by RBWM so they would cut funding that they had granted me. 

My Questions are .
Did RBWM provide a grant to [name] ?
If yes Details of the grant including any amounts or correspondence - request for grant - who authorised grant . What checks were carried out to ensure [name] was qualified to work with vulnerable people .
If funding was granted and then withdrawn copy of the letter / email sent to [name].
