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 to release the second-year grant aid funding of £73,750 for 2025/26 accordingly.
Reason
The Council was empowered to make grants to voluntary organisations by virtue of Section 48 Local Government Act 1985. The grant supported the Corporate Priorities with providing a safe place for the community and supporting people to live well.
