Decision

Summary
of Decision
That the Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care, Public Health and
Voluntary Sector approves the award of a grant to Paddington
Development Trust (a charitable company limited by guarantee with
company number 03652559) for a term of
10 years and a total value of £2.48 million to assist PDT to
run and maintain the Stowe Centre. 
 
Reasons
for Decision 
Implementing a strategic grant arrangement with the
Stowe Centre is in line with Westminster's commitment to supporting
community anchor organisations. This particular arrangement will
bring parity to the council’s approach to funding strategic
VCS partners in the north and south of the borough. It will support
the Stowe Centre to be run to the best standard and to continue
acting as a community centre for local groups and
organisations.
