Decision details

Cabinet considered a grant application from Citizens Advice Broxtowe Division following the expiration of a previous commitment of a three-year grant funding settlement form 2021/22 in accordance with the provisions of the Council’s Grant Aid Policy. The three-year funding was again agreed, and the settlement is seen to provide some much-needed stability for Citizens Advice Broxtowe Division and provide a platform to gain additional funds from other sources.

RESOLVED that the release of the third-year grant aid funding of £73,750 for 2026/27 accordingly, be approved.

Reason

The Council was empowered to make grants to voluntary organisations by virtue of Section 48 Local Government Act 1985. The grant supported Corporate Priorities with providing a safe place for the community and supporting people to live well.
