Report of Director of Resources enclosed.

The Director of Resources submitted a report outlining the recommendations of the voluntary organisation grant working group for their approval.

The working group had met to discuss the 26 applications received; a summary of which were included in the report.

Further information had been sought on three applications before a recommendation could be made. Suicide Awareness Prevention UK was identified as a CIC and therefore did not meet the criteria under this grant scheme .

It was also found that several applications would better fall under the remit of Recreation & Culture grants and it was agreed that the closing dates for both sets of applications should be aligned in future so that applications could be easily transferred for consideration.

RESOLVED THAT COMMITTEE:

Approve the allocation of grants as proposed by the voluntary organisation grant working group as set out in the report with the deletion of Suicide Awareness Prevention UK, totalling £104,297.20
