Decision

To approve grant allocations over
£50,000 for the delivery of projects related to the North
Yorkshire Get Britain Working Trailblazer Programme.
The decision has been taken by Corporate Director of Resources in
consultation with Assistant Chief Executive Legal and Democratic
Services.

Reasons for the decision

The overarching key decision for approving the
North Yorkshire Get Britain Working Trailblazer programme was made
by the Executive on 15th July 2025.
Decisions on that occasion were:
1) The Executive agrees to the application of grant funding of four
million, three hundred and ninety-one thousand, nine hundred and
six pounds (£4,391,906) to support the Government’s Get
Britain Working Trailblazer programme; and in the event that the
application is approved
2) That the acceptance of the Grant be delegated to the Corporate
Director Resources in consultation with the Executive Member for
Corporate Services
3) To delegate authority to agree and enter into any associated
agreements, including but not limited to the Grant Agreement with
the YNYCA to access and deliver these funds, to the Corporate
Director Resources in consultation with the Assistant Chief
Executive Legal and Democratic Services.
Further, the Council Constitution Access to Information Procedure
Rules requires that grant agreements over £50,000 are subject
to approval as per section 19.3. Five of the associated grants for
this scheme exceed £50,000.
The grant allocations for these five projects are required in order
to fulfil the requirements of the North Yorkshire Council Get
Britain Working Trailblazer programme and the associated, agreed
projects.

Alternative options considered

Not to approve the grant allocations. This
would result in failure to deliver the North Yorkshire programme as
agreed.
