RESOLVED - That: Allocate grants for one year
(24/25): This would provide a contribution to their core funding
supporting them to continue to provide services to residents.

Reasons for the decision

Option 1 – Decommissioning: This is not
regarded as a viable option. For the organisations funded this
would represent the loss of their core funding and may result in a
significant reduction in the services they are able to offer, or
possibly result in closure of the centres or services.
