Issue - meetings

To receive and consider the attached report of the North East Area Manager

Time – 15 mins (Executive Function)

Consideration was given to a report of the North East Area Manager which provided Members with an update on the work of the Grants & Funding Advice Officer.  Information on organisations that had used the Grants and Funding Advice service detailing the assistance requested and provided along with current outcomes were appended to the report.

 Members were informed that assisting organisations with business planning had taken up the majority of Grant and Funding Advice Officer’s workload to assist them with bids for funding.  Reference was also made to the ongoing support available to organisations and sources of funds available.

The Grant and Funding Advice Officer reported that organisations in Moortown and Roundhay would be targeted as there had not been as much interest from these wards as the Chapel Allerton ward.  Members were asked to provide details of any groups that may benefit from the services of the Grant and Funding Advice Officer.

RESOLVED - That the report be noted and that a further report be brought to the Committee with an evaluation of the Grant and Fundraising Advice Worker post.
