Purpose

The Elected Members Ward Budget is included
the 2023/24 Revenue Budget. Within this allocation each elected
Member is allocated up to £3k (£165k in total across
all 55 elected Members) to support local groups and
organisations.
A central record of grants allocated will be maintained by the
Corporate Governance Team within Legal and Democratic Services
– this will reconcile to the grant payments made and record
the outcomes achieved through the use of the grant funding.
This is an allocation of existing 2023/24 revenue budget and so is
contained within the Council’s current budget envelope.
The individual applications detail the extent to which the
initiative will seek to make a positive impact within the local
community
