Minutes:
The Head of Community Services presented the funding recommendations from the Council’s Grants Panel in respect of the Voluntary and Community Sector Grant Programme 2018/19. Members were advised that there had been some unallocated sums and the Grants Panel had brought forward proposals to ensure that this funding would still be invested in Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) organisations.
Members noted that a number of applicants had been unsuccessful. Each year there were more applicants than there was funding available and the Grants Panel used particular criteria to ensure that funding was distributed appropriately.
RESOLVED that
1) the following grants for 2018/19 be awarded to the successful applicants as set out in the table below:
