To receive a presentation from the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services with information on the culture and recreation grant stream.

The Committee received a presentation from the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services regarding the future structure of Culture and Recreation grant funding.

The intention to reduce reliance on year on year revenue funding from the County Council was discussed and it was proposed that most revenue grants would cease over the coming two to five years. Members heard that a stronger emphasis on capital funded, one off projects would be developed to help enhance the sustainability of applicant organisations.

Members noted that the Director intended to bring a further report, outlining potential future options for grant funding to the November meeting of the Select Committee for further consideration.

RESOLVED:

That the Culture and Communities Select Committee notes the content of the presentation.
