Decision details

On 24 September 2021 the Grants Advisory Committee reviewed all Community Chest applications received between 16 August 2021 and 15 September 2021, to the Community Chest funding scheme during 2020/21. 

There was one deferral to be considered from the previous month.  

Two applications were brought forward in ‘Appendix A’ of the meeting’s reports pack: Grants Advisory Committee Meeting reports and papers

After consideration of these applications, the Committee recommended to the Lead Cabinet Member for Finance that:

1. Shelford Feast (RMHPJVWZ), for officers to contact the group again and request a further projection of costs for any future event.  If officers are satisfied that non provision of this grant will cause detriment to a future event, they can agree to award the grant and fund full amount requested of £1,000
2. Duxford Bowls Club (ZRSLNWWW), initial decision at committee was to defer to ascertain who owns the building and who should be responsible for building repairs - however please see Further Information Section below.
