Agenda item

To receive and consider an evaluation of applications for the Witney Town Council Youth Fund, which closed on 1^st September 2020 from the Office Manager. Agreement on awards will be made at the Policy, Governance & Finance Committee meeting on 28^th September and ratified at the Full Council meeting on 12^th October 2020.

This item was moved up the agenda with the express permission of the Chair in light of having received presentations from the three applicants prior to the meeting.

Members received and considered the report of the Office Manager which included a confidential evaluation of the applications received for the Witney Town Council Youth Fund.

The Chair suggested that a fair way of granting funding would be to give all the applicants 78% of the amount they had applied for, although this would be slightly over the budget for the fund.  Members discussed this and ultimately agreed to proceed to recommend this option to the Policy, Governance and Finance Committee for approval.

RECOMMENDED:             that the report be noted and that all three applicants be granted 78% of the amount applied for as follows: -

Got2B                                   - granted £15,210

Home Start Oxford          - granted £ 11,700

Junior Parkrun                   – granted £3,120.
