Purpose

To consider an application to the Council’s Voluntary Sector Support Fund from Burridge Community Association.

In April 2023, as part of the report on Voluntary and Community Support Services, the Executive approved the allocation of £7,500 from the Community Fund budget to which local charitable organisations can apply to secure their first year’s membership to Action Hampshire and/or access their specialist advice around a governance issue of particular concern.  These applications were to be considered by the Executive Member for Leisure and Community.

An application to this Fund has been received from Burridge Community Association, a local charitable organisation.

Decision

RESOLVED that the Executive approves the following:

(a)  the award of £30 from the Voluntary Sector Support Fund to fund Burridge Community Association’s first year of membership to Action Hampshire; and

(b)  the award of £372 from the Voluntary Sector Support Fund to fund Burridge Community Association’s access to specialist governance support from Action Hampshire when required.
