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.
