Report by Chief Executive.
4
There was submitted a report by the Chief Executive relative to applications for funding from The Villages Local Partnership in 201/22.
The report intimated that the available allocation for the Local Partnership was £48,203, made up of £47,044 from the General Grant Fund and £1,159 underspend carried forward from 2020/21. The carry forward of underspend was agreed due to the exceptional circumstances of the Covid pandemic which impacted on the ability of community organisations to undertake activities due to restrictions in place over the period. The normal arrangement whereby underspends could not be carried forward into the next financial year would be reinstated for 2021/22. The sum of £50 per community representative required to be ringfenced for potential claims for administrative expenses, which left a balance of £47,503 for allocation.
The report advised that the Youth Challenge Fund component of the Local Partnership’s funding, now known as Celebrating Renfrewshire, was £21,697. This would be allocated by young people through a participatory budgeting process, which would take place during autumn 2021.
Following consideration, the Local Partnership agreed that the undernoted applications be determined as follows:-
