Cabinet considered a report outlining the work of the District Youth Councils in their role in recommending grant monies to third sector organisations which are registered with the Wellbeing, Prevention and Early Help Service. It was noted that the fund was largely undersubscribed, and that more efforts needed to be made to promote its availability.

Resolved: That

  i.  The recommendations of the District Youth Councils on the applications for grants from third sector groups which are registered with the Wellbeing, Prevention and Early Help Service, as set out in the report, be approved.

  ii.  The recommendations of the District Youth Council on the grant application from one young person totalling £411, which exceeds the £250 threshold that the District Youth Council is authorised to approve, be approved.

  iii.  District Youth Councils be asked to report to the Cabinet Member on how they are promoting the availability of these grants and the steps they will take to promote it further
