Report of Deputy Chief Executive and Director of Regeneration and Planning

Lead Cabinet member: Councillor Johnny Denis

(Key decision):

To agree the proposed funding allocations set out at Appendix 1 to the report.

The Cabinet considered the report of the Deputy Chief Executive and Director of Regeneration and Planning, asking it to consider the funding recommendations of the cross-party working group. Thanks were conveyed to all involved in the process.

It was welcomed that the process of awarding the next grants cycle in 2025 would commence a year in advance. That would enable sufficient notice of confirmation around funding for organisations.

Policy and Performance Advisory Committee (PPAC), held on 27 January 2022, considered the report and was supportive of the officer recommendation in full. Councillor Linington, Leader of the Opposition, was in attendance to present PPAC’s discussion.

Resolved (Key decision):

To agree the proposed funding allocations set out at Appendix 1 to the report.

Reason for decision:

The recommendations outlined in the report will enable the council to support a broad range of voluntary sector groups, therefore reaching a larger number of residents.
