Decision details

Cabinet was informed that the Council had been engaging with a wide range of community and health partners to meet its health and well-being objectives. The report identified a number of important community health bursary projects seeking funding support. Members stated that the request would be agreed in principle but further information would be required such as the relationships the projects would have with other groups in the voluntary sector and assurances around the costs contained within the report.  

RESOLVED that:

1.     The seven community health bursary projects in the Appendix totalling £14,000 be approved, with the one-off revenue development being funded from General Fund Reserves in 2024/25.

2.     A report on the outcomes and learning from the Community Health Bursary projects be presented to Cabinet for consideration during 2025/26.

Reason

The community health bursary projects will improve the health and well-being of various communities in the north of the Borough.
