Issue - meetings

To seek approval of the charitable organisation which will receive the charitable donation in 2024/25 from the funds raised through the metals recycling scheme.

Consideration was given to requests from charities who wanted to benefit from the metal recycling scheme.  The charities were Cruse Bereavement Support, Age UK Nottinghamshire and Maggies.

There was a discussion about whether Age UK in Derbyshire would benefit from the funds, rather than just schemes in Nottinghamshire.  It was noted that the Committee agreed to the donation on the condition that funds were evenly split between Age UK projects in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

It was proposed by Councillor J Dawson and seconded by Councillor B Everett that Cruse Bereavement Support, Age UK and Maggies each receive a third of the monies from the funds raised in 2024/25 through the metals recycling scheme by Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management, with the donation to Age UK further split between the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire branches.  On being put to the meeting the motion was carried.

RESOLVED that Cruse Bereavement Support, Age UK and Maggies each receive a third of the monies from the funds raised in 2024/25 through the metals recycling scheme by Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management, with the donation to Age UK further split between the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire branches.
