The Director of Adults and Health has:-

• Noted that, in the summer of 2021, the Multi-Agency Bronze Group on Shielding put in place small grant funding for community organisations to support people who were most vulnerable to Covid-19 (CEV) as the advice for people to shield was lifted in July 2021 and as part of this agreement, set aside provision to support people over the winter period of 2021/22 and 2022/23.

• Noted that the funding for the Winter At Risk grants is taken from an allocation of funding given to Leeds City Council by Central Government’s Department of Housing, Communities and Local Government during 2021 for “Clinically Extremely Vulnerable Support”.

• Approved that grants to a total value of £314,660 can be made to 11 community organisations from the Health Partnerships budget which is holding the DCLG grant on behalf of LCC.
