To confirm as a correct record the minutes of the Funding Sub-Committee meeting held on 27 March 2019.

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

The Funding Sub-Committee noted the Funding Framework.

To consider funding applications received.

The Funding Sub-Committee considered the following application.

The application was for £4,430 for Selby District Disability Forum.

The Sub-Committee heard a short presentation from the applicants about the aims of the project.

Members of the Funding Sub-Committee asked a number of questions in relation to disabled access at Selby station, the area that would be covered by the project, mystery shopping undertaken by the group, SDDF’s work with schools and colleges, and work done by the SDDF with other CEFs.

The Sub Committee considered the application against the funding framework and acknowledged that the application was for a large amount of money. As such the sub-committee felt that results-based regular updates to the Central CEF would be important.

The sub-committee agreed that a way forward would be for half of the funding amount to be awarded initially, followed by a monitoring report submitted in 6 months’ time to the funding sub-committee detailing the work undertaken, which if acceptable, would result in the other half of the funding being released.

RESOLVED:

To recommend to the Partnership Board that the application for a grant of £4,430 be approved, subject to one half of the funding being released initially, to be followed by a monitoring report submitted to the funding sub-committee in 6 months’ time, detailing the work undertaken thus far. If the monitoring report was found to be acceptable, the funding sub-committee would recommend that other half of the funding be released.
