Purpose

On 28 March 2024 the Grants
Advisory Committee reviewed all Community Chest applications
received between 7 February 2024 and 7 March 2024. Ten applications were brought forward in
‘Appendix A’ of the meeting reports pack.
 
After consideration of these
applications, the Committee recommended to the Lead Cabinet Member
for Resources that Hope Against
Poverty (FHRZHFDR) was not funded, but
deferred- pending further information on:
• whether assurance can be
provided that the conditions of the Zero Carbon Communities grant
award provided in 2023 have been adhered to
• how the
Zero Carbon Communities grant awarded by SCDC, along with other
grant funding sought by Hope Against Poverty for their projects,
relate to this application for funding
• whether
assurance can be provided that any future letters appealing for
funding highlight all organisations who have already provided them
with funding.
Since this decision was
made, Hope Against Poverty have
provided further information which satisfies the above
points.
