Decision

The Sub Committee has given approval to an application for funding from the Brookfield Park Shiers Family Trust received from Seashell Trust for a grant of £2,477 towards the cost of sports equipment and activity costs for Seashell Youth, a new project and youth club provision for young adults with complex disabilities aged 16 – 25 who struggle to access standard youth provision in the local area. Seashell Youth offer a supportive space for young adults with complex disabilities to come together, make friends, access peer support and engage in inclusive sport and wellbeing activities.

Alternative options considered

The Sub Committee considered the application as submitted. At the meeting of the Sub Committee, the applicant revised the grant amount figure sought following further scrutiny of postcode data of anticipated participants to the Seashell Youth club provision.
