Decision details

RESOLVED: That the proposed review of the Community Grants Policy and criteria be noted.

RECOMMENDED TO CABINET: That the criteria and outline consultation process be approved, subject to the following amendments:

•        The deletion of ‘projects’ from the table heading found at paragraph 3.1 of the Community Grants Policy on page 105 of the report, to read ‘ELIGIBLE for funding’ and ‘NOT ELIGIBLE for funding’;

•        That the first item under NOT ELIGIBLE should be made clear that this relates to retrospective funding and not events that happen each year.

REASON FOR DECISION: The awarding of grant funding awards to organisations, charities and voluntary groups, and the use of grant budgets devolved to Area Committees allows the Authority to further its aims and overarching Priorities of the Council and District.
