Voluntary Sector Funding Application - Titchfield Community Association
From: Executive Portfolio for Leisure and Community - Monday, 30th September, 2024 11.00 am - September 30, 2024
This report presents an application for funding under the Council’s Voluntary Sector Support Fund Programme. An application for Voluntary Sector Support Funding has been received from Titchfield Community Association for £150 to pay for one year’s membership to Action Hampshire. The Association was previously a member but had allowed this to lapse several years ago when finances became more challenging. They would now like to benefit from this support once more. The Association’s aim is ‘To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Titchfield and district and that part of the Borough of Fareham, West of A32 and Newgate Lane, together with the Electoral District of Curbridge without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political religious or other opinions, by associating together the said inhabitants and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure-time occupation with the objects of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants. To establish or secure the establishment of a Community Centre and to maintain and manage the same, or to co-operate with any local statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such a Centre, for activities promoted by the Company in furtherance of the above objects’ and ‘to promote such other charitable purposes as may from time to time be determined and that in the attainment of the said objects the Company shall be non-party in politics and non-sectarian in religion.’ In 1964 when the Constitution was first written, in keeping with the history of the village, its outreach extended to the boundary of the ancient parish of Titchfield, which included Curbridge and the outreach was maintained when the Constitution was renewed in 2012. The Community Centre regularly has between 1,500 and 2,000 visitors per week and raised income of £195,006 for the year 23/24. Ward Councillor, Councillor Harper and Executive Leader Councillor Martin are both supportive of the application.

Anti-social Behaviour Policy - Adoption
From: Executive - Tuesday, 3rd September, 2024 6.00 pm - September 03, 2024
To seek approval from the Executive to adopt Fareham’s Anti-Social Behaviour Policy, following public consultation. The Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003 requires Local Authorities to prepare an Anti-Social Behaviour Policy. The Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 sets out powers to deal with Anti-Social Behaviour. There are also powers under the Housing Act 1985 and Housing Act 1996 to assist in combatting Anti-Social Behaviour. In April 2024, the Housing Regulator introduced Housing Consumer Standards pursuant to the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023, which brings in a requirement for Registered Social Landlords to ensure that tenants can live in safe environments. The proposed Anti-Social Behaviour Policy fulfils the requirements of the above legislation.
