Decision details

Cheshire East Council needs to agree the Policy for the Allocation of Community Grants. The policy addresses the governance arrangements, procedure and monitoring process to facilitate this process.

A number of changes have been made to the Community Grants Policy for the financial year of 2014/15, including additional funding made available and a change to the general conditions.

The aim of the grants is to support small scale community projects that will improve the quality of life for local communities. Grants will be awarded to organisations/project/events which meet the priorities in the Cheshire East Sustainable Community Strategy. All of the proposed grants can be funded from within existing budgets approved as part of the Council’s Budget for 2014/15

To approve the Policy for the Allocation of Community Grants, as set out in the Appendix attached to the report.
