Purpose

The Tendring Older Peoples Forum discusses matters of concern to older people in Tendring and brings a variety of partners together, including Tendring District Council, to seek to address these issues. They are an independent constituted group and have running costs for their secretariat and room hire and an allocation of £2000 will assist them to run for the next two years

Decision

To fund the administrative and room hire costs of the Tendring Older Peoples Forum, to the sum of £2000, which will enable them to continue to support and engage with relevant members of the Tendring Community for a further two years.

Alternative options considered

Option 1 -
To fund the administrative and room hire costs of the Tendring Older People's Forum, in order that they may continue to support relevant members of the Tendring Community.
Option 2 - To not support the funding of the Tendring Older Peoples Forum which may result in them not being able to carry out their functionality, as before.
