To agree the grants award 2023/24 for decisions deferred by Community Wellbeing and Housing Committee on 17 January 2023

The Committee received an update on the deferred items from the Grants Panel and were asked to agree the grants awards 2023/24 for decisions deferred by the Committee on 17 January 2023.

The Strategic Lead for Leisure and Community Development provided an update on the five organisations whose grants had been deferred. This included a further application from the Bagster Social Club which was not within the original report. A summary was provided, with information which set out new recommendations for funding. If approved the Grants Award balance would reduce to £24,331.

The Committee discussed the important work delivered by the Bagster Social Club and raised concern about the request for refurbishment of their kitchen. It was noted that officers at the Council should have raised this refurbishment before the lease was due to end.

The Committee resolved to agree the grants awards 2023/24 for decisions deferred by the Committee on 17 January 2023.
