AREA BUDGET 2019/20: APPLICATIONS FOR FUNDING

Purpose of Report:

To inform members of the current position in relation to the Partick East/Kelvindale Area Partnership’s Area Budget 2019/20 and to make recommendations on applications for funding.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that the Area Partnership:

(1) notes (a) the current City Council budget position in regards to Area Budget Allocations; (b) the current position with regard to awarding funds from the 2019/20 allocation; (c) that time critical awards for up to £500 can also be allocated from the 2019/2020 budget under existing Delegated Authority arrangements; (2) ensures that (a) its area budget is used in ways which reflect the Council’s key objectives; (b) 2019/20 funds recommended are, wherever possible, proportionate to the overall budget available for the full year and time critical; and (3) approves the recommendations on area budget grant applications, as detailed in Appendix 1 and the provision of Travel Passes to Out of School Care organisations, subject to ’s budget in 2019/20, as detailed in Appendix 2.

Background

1. On 14th June 2018, the City Administration Committee approved budget allocations for 2018/19 to the 23 Area Partnerships totalling £1.6 million. The allocation for this Area Partnership was £57,395.

2. Glasgow City Council is, following consultation, expected to set its 2019/20 Budget early in 2019. The IGF budget is part of the Council Budget and is therefore still to be agreed. Any revisions to IGF Area Budget allocations for 2019/20 will be detailed in a future report.

Allocation arrangements

3. Some Area Partnerships have proposals coming before them in the January/February 2019 cycle of meetings for projects/services to take place early in financial year 2019/20.

4. Members are asked to note recommendations within this paper for interim arrangements enabling the allocation of a portion of funds from the 2019/20 IGF Area Budget in the January/February cycle of the 23 Area Partnerships (e.g. for time critical projects).

5. Following advice from Council Financial Services, the budget available for allocation by the 23 Area Partnerships in January/February 2019 should be proportionate to the number of anticipated Area Partnership meetings in 2019/20 and in line with the notional Area Partnership budget allocation for 2019/20.

6. Furthermore, any applications submitted should be time critical – for example, where a funding request has been made for an event/residential trip that will take place before the scheduled first meeting of the 23 Area Partnerships in the new financial year or where the activity takes place very soon after the first meeting.

Proposals for 2019/20

7. Two applications for funding in 2019/20 have been received from organisations providing a service in this Ward.

8. Appendix 1 summarises the applications for funding and makes recommendations on each, following detailed assessments. Any specific conditions, in addition to the Council’s Standard Conditions of Funding, that should be applied to an award are also detailed in Appendix 1.

9. Applications that are received up to the value of £500 for funding in 2019/20, and that are time critical, can be approved through existing delegated authority arrangements. Any awards made through delegated authority for 2019/20 will then be submitted for noting to the next meeting of the Area Partnership.

10. All funding awards made in the January/February 2019 cycle of meetings and via Delegated Authority from the 2019/20 budget will be subject to available finances.

Travel Pass Scheme

11. In conjunction with Strathclyde Partnership for Transport, the Council also provides travel passes to qualifying Out of School Care organisations which allows them to travel free of charge with many public transport operators throughout the school holiday periods. Funding for this scheme is provided centrally, however, the Area Partnership is asked to approve the provision of passes to organisations within the Ward.

Recommendations

12. It is recommended that the Area Partnership:

(1) notes

(a) the current Glasgow City Council budget position in regards to Area Budget Allocations; (b) the current position with regard to awarding funds from the 2019/20 allocation; and (c) that time critical awards for up to £500 can also be allocated from the 2019/20 budget under existing Delegated Authority arrangements;

(2) ensures that

(a) the area budgets are used in ways which reflect the Council’s key objectives; and (b) 2019/20 funds recommended are, wherever possible, proportionate to the overall budget available for the full year and time critical; and

(3) approves the recommendations on area budget grant applications, as detailed in Appendix 1, and the provision of Travel Passes to Out of School Care organisations, subject to Glasgow City Council’s budget in 2019/20, as detailed in Appendix 2.

At the conclusion of the week, it is hoped that the young people can use what they’ve learned and created to perform a sharing for parents, friends, family and the wider community.

From recent work with local schools and community groups in the West End of Glasgow it is apparent that there is a need for this kind of free provision for young people. It is hoped that this project will fill this void and hopefully be the starting point for sustainable and ongoing provision.
