Issue - meetings

The Committee received a report from the Community Funding & Voluntary Sector Manager regarding Community Grants.

Councillors were reminded that the Committee could not make decisions whilst the Area Committees were taking place virtually, but any discussion / debate would be taken into consideration by Officers when the delegated decisions were made.

In response to Members’ questions officers said the following:

      i.         C3 food van had been running for some time. They were able to demonstrate the number of beneficiaries that were attending to demonstrate their need. The Council’s contribution was towards food and consumables. The typical amount of people using the service every Friday was approximately 100 people.

    ii.         Cambridge Online application/proposal was a pilot. Would like to see result of pilot first and then consider a reward for next year.

   iii.         Regarding Birdbox application, infrastructure was already in place. Community Funding & Voluntary Sector Manager would be happy to discuss further with Cllr Anna Smith outside of the meeting.
