Cheshire East Council has received various applications for community grants to be considered in line with the Council’s Policy for the Allocation of Community Grants. Each grant application was outlined in the report, as was the reason for the recommendation in respect of that application. Updates were received at the meeting in relation to grant applications by Tatton Singers and Holmes Chapel Partnership. All of the proposed grants could be funded from within existing budgets approved as part of the Council’s Budget for 2015/16.
The Council recognised the valuable input that the voluntary and community sector brings to the quality of life in the community and funding is focussed on those organisations that compliment the aims and objectives of the corporate plan. 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 Council’s Residents First Outcomes.
