Agenda item

To receive the report of the Deputy Town Clerk including the recommendations from the Stronger Communities Committee on distribution of this funding.

The Committee received and considered the report of the Deputy Town Clerk outlining the recommendations on distribution of this fund by the Stronger Communities Committee.

Members agreed that the applicants were all worthy of the requested funds but given the financial confinement of the awards they were unable to provide the full amounts. The awards demonstrated a fair approach to all and constituted over 75% of the funds applied for.

Members were in agreement that the funds should be spent on projects relating to Witney and not wholly on administrative running costs.

Resolved:

1.      That, the report be noted and,

2.      That, the recommendations on distribution of the Youth Services Grant 2021 made by the Stronger Communities Committee be agreed, these being:

a)      That, Got2B Community Interest Company be awarded the sum of £18,693

b)     That, Home-Start Oxford be awarded the sum of £9,318

c)      That, Oxfordshire Music & Arts Trust be awarded the sum of £7,668

d)     That, Synolos be awarded the sum of £4,068

e)     That, the above financial awards be made under the General Power of Competence and recipients be asked to acknowledge the Council’s financial contribution in their promotional literature.
