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 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 applications.
