Agenda item

The Area Council Manager updated Members on the Youth Development Fund current projects, including financial allocations, number of volunteers, volunteer hours, number of young people attending and ‘in kind’ contributions.  The members agreed that this initiative was achieving good outcomes and outputs.  68 volunteers have been involved in the supported projects, providing 2,348 volunteering hours.  This represents a social value of £26,040, indicating that for every £1 spent, there is a social investment return of £11.09, which demonstrates the value of the investment.  The Area Council Manager also fed back with regard to the Fit Reds and Fit Me initiatives which were also being positively received in the local communities.

RESOLVED that the North East Area Project Performance report be received and noted.
