This report considers the continued future support of voluntary organisations in 2020/21.

Following consideration, it was resolved:

(1)      That the Community and Wellbeing Committee approved the proposed support for voluntary organisations in 2020/21, as detailed in Annex 1 to the report.

The Committee received a report proposing support for voluntary organisations in 2020/21.

The following matters were considered:

a)            Increase in notional grants for accommodation. The Committee noted that new licence agreements for Town Hall accommodation would be issued to the relevant voluntary organisations this year following the expiry of the existing three-year agreements. The notional grant value of these agreements had been increased to reflect the current market value of the accommodation provided.

b)           Parking arrangements. Officers informed the Committee that the grant/subsidy provided for parking was based on historic agreements and that additional parking permits for Hook Road car park were available to the voluntary organisations at a subsidised cost of £120 per annum. The full cost of permits was £630 per annum.

Following consideration, it was resolved:

(1)      That the Community and Wellbeing Committee approved the proposed support for voluntary organisations in 2020/21, as detailed in Annex 1 to the report.
