1.    Approval of the grants awards for 2022/23,

2.    The Committee to note all other support Spelthorne Borough Council provides to the voluntary/charity sector and;

3.    Consideration of the proposal that unallocated Councillors’ Better Neighbourhood Grant monies for 2022/23 be transferred to the Grants Panel for allocation.

Alternative options considered and rejected:

None

Resolved:

1.    Approve the grants awards for 2022/23,

4.    To note all other support Spelthorne Borough Council provides to the voluntary/charity sector and;

2.    To transfer the unallocated Councillors’ Better Neighbourhood Grant monies for 2022/23 to the Grants Panel for allocation.

Reason for Decision:

To ensure that grants can be awarded to existing organisations to continue to  provide support, assistance and other essential services for Borough residents and to enable new organisations to begin to provide services that are needed.

Transferring unallocated Councillors’ Better Neighbourhood Grants will allow this funding to be assigned to local organisations.
