COVID 19 Members’ Small Grant Scheme
In 2020, the Leader of the Council agreed a members’ small grant scheme that made £1,000 available to each ward Member to enable them to help local organisation / community groups who were responding to the COVID 19 pandemic. Given the ongoing impact of the pandemic, this scheme was extended in 2021, with a further £1,000 made available to each ward member.
The scheme expired at the end of March 2022, with a final scheme schedule as follows, which sets out how much was awarded by each ward member, including the local organisations supported:
