Purpose

To approve the awards
recommended by the cross-party panel for the Community Grant
Scheme.

Decision

That the awards
detailed within the report are approved.

Reasons for the decision

It was agreed at
Cabinet 31.10.23 that in order to
support the expedient allocation of awards that a Portfolio Holder
decision would be sufficient to awards the grants following a
cross-party panel having considered and recommended awards from all
eligible application received.
All members also had
opportunity to feed into the decision-making process through direct
feedback to the panel – there was no opposition from members
to any of the successful application.

Alternative options considered

That the awards are
not approved.
