Community Chest: Funding Applications Additional documents: Decision: The Finance and Staffing Portfolio Holder agreed the following Community Chest funding:
Minutes: The Finance and Staffing Portfolio Holder considered a report summarising recent applications for funding from the Community Chest grant funding scheme.
Officers presented the applications one by one. Those present discussed three in particular.
Cambridge Sea Cadets and Royal Marine Cadets The Portfolio Holder noted that, although the Group was based in Cambridge, seven of its nine members lived in South Cambridgeshire. The Group was undertaking a recruitment drive within South Cambridgeshire Village Colleges with the aim of increasing membership to about 50. The Portfolio Holder asked officers to explore the possibility that equipment bought with Community Chest funds should display stickers indicating financial support from South Cambridgeshire District Council.
Hatley Parish Council The Portfolio Holder observed that the application from Hatley Parish Council related to the kind of project the Community Chest would fund. However, because Hatley Parish Council was small, with limited funds of its own, and because the project would benefit the entire village, the Portfolio Holder was minded to make an exception in this case. Councillor Hazel Smith pointed out that Hatley lacked many of the community facilities found in larger villages, which would attract funding.
ESOL Café Those present discussed the benefit to communities in South Cambridgeshire. Councillor Smith described the Café’s aims as worthy, but the Portfolio Holder had concerns about value for money. The Head of Sustainable Communities and Wellbeing said that the Council would seek feedback from those using the Café’s services with a view to assessing the Café’s role in combatting social isolation.
