To note the Funding Framework against which funding applications will be considered.

The funding framework had been circulated with the agenda and was noted.

To consider funding applications received.

The Funding Sub-Committee considered the following funding application:

The application was for £4,445.34 to install four Digital Smart Storage Heaters and provide insulation in the main hall roof.  The applicants were in attendance however as the application was for a project, the Sub-Committee asked the applicants to present their application to the Partnership Board which would be meeting at 7.00 pm.

The Sub-Committee noted that without a reliable heating source the Village Hall could not continue to operate in the winter months and therefore it was critical that heating was installed.

The Sub-Committee considered the application against the funding framework and confirmed that it met the requirements, specifically:

·           That the application met at least two of the Community Development Plan (CDP) objectives (improving the quality of life for individuals across the Western CEF area and provide solutions for community issues).

·           That the project would benefit the Community Engagement Forum (CEF) area including residents of the area; and

·           That the project would have extensive and detailed benefits for one or more defined groups in the CEF area.

Members of the Funding Sub-Committee were supportive of the application and agreed that the heating system required urgent upgrading.

RESOLVED:

To recommend to the Partnership Board that a grant of £4,445.34 be approved towards delivery of the work outlined in the application, subject to consideration of the application by the Partnership Board.

Reasons for decision:

The application met the requirements of the funding framework and the Funding Sub-Committee was supportive of the application.
