Minutes:
The Director reminded the Committee that the Council supported a range of community-based Summer Play Schemes which offered a wide range of social, recreational and educational activities for young people between the ages of five and fourteen. She explained that the Summer Schemes in directly-managed Community Centres were funded through the Revenue budget. In addition, grant assistance was made available to those organisations in the voluntary and community sector which met the relevant criteria.
The Director stated that, in addition to the funding available within the revenue estimates for seasonal play schemes, an amount of £175,000 had been included in respect of grant aid to be provided to Community Groups operating a summer play scheme. Grants in this regard were based on previously agreed criteria and had been set at amounts of either £1,000, £1,800 or £3,000. The Committee was advised further that a total of 78 applications had been received and that funding had been awarded to the undernoted 68 groups which had met the criteria.
