Purpose

Following the decision of the Transport,
Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee to establish a grant fund
to support educational settings on the Built for Change Pilot, a
decision was sought on the second cohort of grant allocations.
 

Content

To
allocate grant funding to Built for
Change pilot settings as set out in section 2.2 to 5 of the report,
and in appendix 1 and 2.
 

Reasons for the decision

The proposed grant
allocations, as requested by the pilot settings, meet the
eligibility criteria and have been considered and approved by the
Built for Change steering group. They will support the educational
settings to adapt to the changing climate and benefit the
well-being of students.
 

Alternative options considered

Alternative options for the funding and
delivery approach have been considered earlier in the programme. At
this stage, grants are not competitive and so alternative
allocation options have not been considered beyond the
Sustainability and Climate Change Team and other colleagues
reviewing the applications to assess compliance with the
eligibility criteria.
