Purpose

To outline the rationale for the Council to
accept £425,000 of pre-awarded grant funding from the
National Lottery Reaching Community Fund. This funding will finance
the delivery of the Council’s Swift: Enabling Sustainable
Migrant Communities in North Yorkshire project. The project will be
delivered for migrant communities across North Yorkshire and thus
falls within the key decision criteria. Corporate agreement is
needed before a formal grant agreement can be entered into with the
funder.

Decision

To accept £425,735 over three years of
external grant funding from National Lottery Reaching Communities
Fund in agreement with the Executive Member for Finance and the
Executive Member for Corporate Services.
