Prior to presenting this report, Councillor Robin Millar, Portfolio Holder for Families and Communities, declared a local non-pecuniary interest as he was a friend of one of the applicants. Councillor Millar confirmed that he would remain in the meeting, but would abstain from voting.
The Portfolio Holder then presented this report which provided an update, following the review of applications for Community Chest funding for 2016/2017 and recommended funding allocations.
Each application had been assessed against the scheme’s criteria and some had been declined. Those applications which had not been accepted were listed within paragraph 1.3 of the report. Officers in the Families and Communities Team would work with these organisations to try and identify alternative funding. Following detailed consideration, it was felt that ten applications met the scheme’s criteria and should be allocated funding. These organisations and the funding allocated were detailed in paragraph 1.4 of the report.
Councillor Millar concluded that with these allocations, there still remained £18,524.00 in the Community Chest for 2016/2017. There would be the option to open a second round of funding in Spring 2016 or there would be the opportunity to commission work on behalf of communities from the Community Chest.
