Issue - meetings

Cabinet considered a report setting out the recommendations of District Youth Councils in relation to the award of small grants to third sector groups.

Cabinet's attention was drawn to an application from King's Church Youth Group, South Ribble.  The Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Schools informed Cabinet that the Youth Group had submitted a funding application for £980, but the District Youth Council felt unable to support the application in full.  Cabinet was asked to consider awarding the full amount of £980 to the Youth Group as the Cabinet Member felt that the application did meet the small grants criteria.

Resolved:

That,

(i)  the recommendations of the District Youth Councils on the applications for grants from third sector groups which are registered with the Children and Family Wellbeing Service, as set out in the report, be approved.

(ii)  the full application submitted by King's Church Youth Group be supported and that the Group be awarded a total grant of £980 including the grant approved at (i) above, subject to the approval of the District Youth Council.
