Minutes:

Cabinet considered the request for grant aid from Canalside Heritage Centre Trust in accordance with the provisions of the Council’s Grant Aid Policy. Members considered whether a Service Level Agreement was needed to support an award, but officers confirmed that as this was mainly in respect of a capital grant, one was not necessary required by the Grant Aid Policy.

RESOLVED that Canalside Heritage Centre Trust be awarded a grant of up to £6,200.

Reason

The Council is empowered to make grants to voluntary organisations by virtue of Section 48 Local Government Act 1985 (as well as other Legislation). Having an approved process in accordance with legislation and the Council’s Grant Aid Policy would ensure the Council’s compliance with its legal duties.
