8.1

The Committee considered a report of the
Executive Director of Neighbourhood Services which asked for
consideration of granting a 12-month licence for Muddy Buddies
playgroup to use part of the Graves Park Pavilion, which would
allow continued access for existing users and generate income for
the charity.

 

 

8.2

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY: That the
Charity Trustees Sub- Committee: -

(a) 
Notes the report; and

(b) 
Grants the licence proposal based on the terms set out in appendix
2 of the report, in order to serve the best interests of the
charity.

Reasons for
Decision

 

 

8.3.1

The proposal to grant a 12-month licence to
use the pavilion is in the best interest of the charity for the
following reasons: -

·      
Provides a new indoor play provision in the park increasing
recreational value.

·      
Secures an increased income stream by way of rent.

·      
Encourages investment in a charitable asset.

·      
By granting a license for the use of designated areas of the
pavilion, it minimises the reduction in existing access to areas of
the building and thus is not detrimental to the charity continuing
to deliver its objectives.

·      
Complies with the statutory provisions contained within the Act and
further with the requirements of the Charity Commission.
