To agree any items to be dealt with after the public (including the press) have been excluded.   There are no items which Officers recommend should be dealt with in this way.

Following adjournment of the meeting held on the 30 March 2026, the Panel are asked to consider an update on the report from the Benefits and Financial Resilience Manager on funding the remaining applications.

Members of the Panel could consider recommending a change to the policy that permits applications that would normally be awarded but can’t be due to the funding limits in place for the Community buildings, to be rolled over to the next funding window without having to reapply. Therefore the following recommendation has been made, set out below:

Recommendation

To recommend to Cabinet to make the following change to the Community Grant Fund policy

• Applications that meet the policy criteria, but Members are unable to approve due to funding limits can be rolled over to the next grant window.

Subject to Cabinet approving the above recommendation the 6 Community building fund applications deferred for a decision will be carried forward to the next grant window.
