Purpose: This report presents an application for funding under the Council’s Community Funding Programme.     An application to the Community Fund has been received from the youth support charity Motiv8 South for £3,800.57 towards enhancements for their new Broadlaw Community Space location.   Motiv8 South would like to purchase equipment for their recreation and sensory space, a refresh of the kitchen and dining space and equipment for their Lego Seriously Play programme. In July 2025, Motiv8 South took on the lease of Broadlaw Community Space and are expecting to directly reach approximately 200 unique young people and families in the youth hub space per year through open access work and focussed delivery. Other community organisations will also be able to use the youth hub space and these resources.   The total cost of this project is £4,489.55. Motiv8 South are looking for £3,800.57 from the Community Fund, with the remaining amount of £688.98 being funded from Motiv8 South reserves.   As of 10 December 2025, Motiv8 South held £294,582.68 in their accounts. In the accounting year 1 April 2023 – 31 March 2024 within the central accounts, there was an income of £1,554,339 and expenditure of £1,483,802. Money received for this project will be ringfenced for designated spending at Broadlaw within their ongoing management accounts.   Both Ward Councillors, Councillor Furnivall and Councillor Ingram support the Motiv8 South community funding application.
