Policy for the Allocation of Community Grants To consider a report highlighting a number of changes to the Community Grants Policy for the 2015/16 financial year and seeking approval for the transfer of the underspend arising from the Giveback Fund to the Community Grant Scheme. Additional documents: Decision: That
1. the amended Policy for the Allocation of Community Grants as set out in Appendix 1 to the report be approved and adopted subject to the additional amendments agreed at the meeting as set out below:
2. the transfer of remaining Giveback funding into the Community Grants Scheme be approved; and
3. authority be delegated to the Portfolio Holder to make further minor amendments to the Policy limited to adding new categories in the event that any additional funding is made available within the 2015/16 budget year and the Portfolio Holder considers it appropriate to add new categories to the scheme to meet the Residents First Outcomes.
Minutes: The Portfolio Holder considered a report proposing a number of changes to the Community Grants Policy for the 2015/16 financial year and seeking approval for the transfer of the underspend arising from the Giveback Fund to the Community Grants Scheme.
The amended Policy was attached as an appendix to the report.
Owing to a budget surplus of £900,000, an additional grant scheme had been established, entitled the Giveback fund, in July 2014 to fund a number of specific community activities as set out in the report. Whilst the scheme was very successful, there had been an underspend and it was proposed that this be carried over into the Community Grant Scheme budget for 2015/16.
If the additional monies were sufficient to fund additional categories, and as a result further minor adjustments to the Policy were required, it was proposed that the Portfolio Holder would amend the Policy accordingly within the 2015/16 financial year.
A number of additional amendments to the Policy were agreed at the meeting.
RESOLVED
That
1. the amended Policy for the Allocation of Community Grants as set out in Appendix 1 to the report be approved and adopted subject to the additional amendments agreed at the meeting as set out below:
2. the transfer of remaining Giveback funding into the Community Grants Scheme be approved; and
3. the Portfolio Holder make further minor amendments to the Policy limited to adding new categories in the event that any additional funding is made available within the 2015/16 budget year and the Portfolio Holder considers it appropriate to add new categories to the scheme to meet the Residents First Outcomes.
