Purpose

To seek permission to extend commissioned services of Thrive (mental Health) and Citizens Advice bureau into the second year of Youth Trailblazer (£20,000) and to move allocated funding for project to Citizens Advice Bureau for cost management.
 

Decision

That the Cabinet Member for Communities and Safety approves the following grant awards:

£0.020m to Derbyshire Districts Citizens Advice (DDCA) to continue to administer and distribute person centred delivery payments

£0.010m to Derbyshire Districts Citizens Advice (DDCA) to continue to deliver independent advice and guidance

£0.012.5m to Chesterfield Football Club (CFC) Thr1ve to continue to deliver mental wellbeing support

Reasons for the decision

Timely spending of the allocated budget is essential to support project outcomes and enable young people in Derbyshire to reach their potential. 

Alternative options considered

Do nothing. This is not recommended as the pilot is established and already demonstrating positive outcomes for young people in Derbyshire.
