Decision details

To allocate grant funding from the Priority Programme Fund (PPF) to community grants, renewing existing grants for one year (23/24).

RESOLVED - That: Renew grant agreements for one year (23/24): This would sustain funding to organisations at the current level, providing some core funding supporting them to continue to provide services to residents.

Option 1 - Decommissioning: This is not regarded as a viable option. For the organisations funded this would represent the loss of their core funding and may result in a significant reduction in the services they are able to offer, or possibly result in closure of the centres or services.
