Agenda item

Members received the report which highlighted the amount of finance carried over for use in the 2022/23 financial year.

It was noted that each Ward Alliance had significant amounts of finance remaining, and that Community Development Officers were working with Ward Alliances to consider how best to support groups in their area.  Members acknowledged that much of the finance remaining was due to the pandemic, and those present were confident that there would be an increased demand as groups started to be revitalised.

It was also noted that the Area Team had been successful in securing external finance to support projects, which had therefore reduced demand on the Ward Alliance Funds.  Thanks were provided to the Area Team for their work that led to this success.

RESOLVED that the report be received.
