Decision Maker: Cabinet
Outcome:
Is Key Decision?: No
Is Callable In?: No
Purpose: To provide Cabinet with an update on activity at the Broxtowe Division of Citizens Advice Nottinghamshire Central and South and approve the release of the third year of funding as approved by Cabinet in July 2024
Content: Cabinet considered a grant application from Citizens Advice Broxtowe Division following the expiration of a previous commitment of a three-year grant funding settlement form 2021/22 in accordance with the provisions of the Council’s Grant Aid Policy. The three-year funding was again agreed, and the settlement is seen to provide some much-needed stability for Citizens Advice Broxtowe Division and provide a platform to gain additional funds from other sources. RESOLVED that the release of the third-year grant aid funding of £73,750 for 2026/27 accordingly, be approved. Reason The Council was empowered to make grants to voluntary organisations by virtue of Section 48 Local Government Act 1985. The grant supported Corporate Priorities with providing a safe place for the community and supporting people to live well. (Having declared a non-registerable interest in the item, Councillor R D MacRae did not participate or vote on the item.)
