Minutes:

The Grants Advisory Committee considered a report containing officer recommendations for awards from the Service Support Grant Fund for 2019-2022, with reasons for recommendations, background and considerations.  All 17 applications received were outlined in an appendix to the report. 

 

Councillor Claire Daunton regretted that limited resources meant that the Committee could not currently offer funding under the Service Support Grants scheme either to Disability Cambridge or to Reach.
