Revenue Grants 2018/19

Minutes:

The Council funded a number of voluntary organisations which either worked in partnership with the Council or performed functions on the Council’s behalf.

 

The Executive considered a table providing a breakdown of these organisations’ funding requests, together with supporting information. The table compared the funding requested against the grant awarded for 2017/18, the percentage of requested funding against annual running costs and, where appropriate, the in-kind financial support given to the organisations.

 

Members were also provided with information relating to the achievement of

targets contained in each of the Service Level Agreements.

 

The Blackwater Valley Countryside Partnership, following a reduction in grant award in 2017/18, had requested that the grant be increased to its previous level.  The Partnership had stressed that it was able to achieve greater benefits to residents of the Valley than any one partner working in isolation and that it provided best value for money through economy of scale.   As a result it was proposed that a grant of £10,000 be made in 2018/19.

 

Resolved that, subject to thedelivery of the service level agreements, revenue grants be allocated for the period 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019 as follows:
