Purpose

To consider the authorisation to release funds from the
Communities Transport Grant Scheme.

Decision

That the following 2 Transport
grant awards of £500 each are approved.
 
A Little More
Kindness - £500 - The fund
will help A Little More Kindness buy more food at lower cost, cover
volunteers fuel, and deliver to people who can’t drive,
expanding their support in the community .
 
Swaffham Methodist
Church - £500 – The
grant would subsidise and, in many cases, probably reimburse in
full the cost of taxis for attendees of the weekly activity
sessions, and also reimburse the volunteer drivers who, at the
moment, do not receive any petrol expenses for the journeys they
undertake to help people.
 

Reasons for the decision

This initiative will focus on
transport barriers in relation to connection into local community
activity & services, for improved health and well-being
outcomes.

Alternative options considered

1)    
To approve the release
of funding.

2)    
To not approve the
release of funding.
