Purpose

The allocation funding will empower Doncaster Culture and Leisure Trust (DCLT) to actively contribute to the healthcare system, ensuring that all capital investments are strategically aligned to achieve maximum impact on the health and wellbeing of Doncaster residents. By strengthening its role within the healthcare sector, DCLT will be well-positioned to deliver meaningful, sustainable improvements that support the broader community.

Decision

To allocate a total of £44,893 over a two-year period to support Doncaster Culture and Leisure Trust. This funding will provide the necessary capacity for the Chief Funding & Information Officer to lead the development of a comprehensive health and wellbeing strategy, ensuring alignment with the trust’s broader objectives and priorities.

Additionally, this investment will enable focused efforts to advance the health and wellbeing agenda, fostering collaboration with the trust's internal teams and external partners to drive meaningful impact across the wider community.

Alternative options considered

Not to allocate funding will limit Doncaster Culture and Leisure Trust (DCLT) in fully leveraging capital investments and other financial sources, thereby diminishing its ability to deliver optimal impact on the health and wellbeing of Doncaster residents. Without this financial support, DCLT may face challenges in effectively integrating its contributions within the healthcare system, ultimately reducing its capacity to foster meaningful improvements in community wellbeing.
