End of Year Report on Grants Administered from the BIG Bolton Fund Bolton Community and Voluntary Services: End of Year Report on Grants Administered from The BIG Bolton Fund April 2012 – March 2013 Foreword Welcome to our 2012/13 review of the grants administered by Bolton CVS. We are delighted to report that during the year 203 awards were made worth a total of more than £210,000. You will see on the following pages the astonishingly wide range of work that has been carried out by local voluntary organisations and community groups that are committed to building stronger communities in our town. On each page of the report there is a mini-case study giving you greater detail about how the funds are being put to positive use for the benefit of the people of Bolton. We must offer a big thank you to our funders. Firstly, to Bolton Council who have continued to provide excellent support for small grants and have recently committed to doing this for a further two years through to March 2015. We also wish to recognise the very special contribution made by the Public Health Team of the Primary Care Trust/NHS Bolton who have provided funding for small grants for nearly 20 years. This was the last year that we worked with them under that guise but we look forward to continuing our relationship with them as the newly formed Bolton Council Public Health Department. We are very grateful to all the individuals and companies that continue to support the BIG Bolton Fund Investment scheme and it’s heartening that the income from this continues to grow. Finally many thanks to the staff at Bolton CVS for making the grants schemes work so effectively and to our volunteer grant assessors, whose time and expertise continues to be invaluable. Once again we have delivered two grant schemes through The BIG Bolton Fund. The Small Grants Programme had its second year in its current form and awarded a similar number of grants in comparison to the previous year. It is an integrated grant scheme, which enables community organisations to receive one grant per year of up to £1500 in order to benefit people in Bolton. Funding for the Small Grants Programme in 2012/13 came from several sources: • Bolton Council’s Chief Executive’s Department: £162,312.09 • NHS Bolton: £ 22,823.00 • BIG Bolton Fund Investment Income: £ 5,390.00 • Bolton Council Environmental Services: £ 1,909.06 ---------------- Total: £192,434.15 Priority is given to organisations whose annual income is below £25,000, with over 96% of the funds awarded to such groups. It is important that the funding reaches those most in need and we are pleased that more than 75% of the money has gone toward activities benefiting the most deprived areas of Bolton or people living with disabilities. However, the fund is available to all areas of Bolton and this year each of the 20 wards of Bolton was home to at least 4 grant recipients. We are, of course, particularly interested in the impact of the grants we award on behalf of our funders. From the 173 awarded this year 90 had the primary aim of making our communities stronger or safer. In addition, 59 awards were targeting improvements to people’s health. A smaller number were supporting people to develop skills with the aim of increasing employment or educational opportunities (12) with a similar number focused on improving the local environment (11). The second grant scheme was The Breaks for Carers Grants Fund which has continued to enable those with caring responsibilities for family members or friends to get a short break from their daily commitments. This fund is provided by Bolton Council Adult and Community Services Department and groups received awards of up to £800 to support their activities. There was an increase in the grants awarded through this fund with 23 groups receiving £16,664.06 in total. We were also able to use a small under spend to award 7 mini-grants totalling £2,626 to groups that already completed projects to enable them to continue their normal break activities while Bolton Council reviewed their carers budget for 2013 onwards. Our recent ‘Bolton State of the Voluntary Sector 2013’ report (carried out in partnership with Sheffield Hallam University) estimates that there are 1,418 voluntary organisations and community groups here in Bolton and that 1,110 of these groups are classed as ‘micro’, i.e. they have an income of under £10,000 a year. The same survey estimates that there are 32,300 volunteers active within Bolton contributing 100,900 of voluntary effort per week. These small groups and their volunteers give their time freely to improve the everyday lives of people in Bolton and it is vital that we continue to assist them to do this by providing the small grants that help to maximise this activity and bring new ideas to life.

  • Neighbourhood Management & Area Working Programme
    NEIGHBOURHOOD MANAGEMENT & AREA WORKING PROGRAMMES This document provides the breakdown of Neighbourhood Management and Area working funding over the past 6 years. The funding was allocated originally in 2-year programmes, and more recently as 1-year programme. The Neighbourhood Management programmes were coordinated and managed by Bolton Council (BMBC) and Bolton at Home (for Breightmet, Tonge with the Haulgh, Hulton Lane, Washacre and Johnson Fold). Members have discretion to shape priorities and spend within their areas but have been guided by the principles that projects should help to improve outcomes and narrow the gap between our least deprived and most deprived areas, and have a clear benefit to the quality of life in an area. The Council is publishing this historical information as part of its commitment to transparency; and has undertaken to publish information about new allocations on a regular basis. Note: April 2021 – This document has been updated to include the Neighbourhood Management information for the Bolton at Home managed areas. This includes: Breightmet, Tonge with the Haulgh, Hulton Lane, Washacre and Johnson Fold. 1 NEIGHBOURHOOD MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME 2013 – 2015 Neighbourhood Management - Crompton 2013 - 2015 Total £78,296 Project £ Lancs Wildlife Trust project tree planting and working with schools and groups 7,500 Various Traffic Regulation Orders covering Baythorpe St, Ullswater St and others 5,705 Crompton Road safety improvements 4,590 Police - Cobden room hire 10th July 2013 80 Police - 19th August 2014 48 Sledmere Close Street Lights 1,700 Dormer St - street lights 4,600 Road safety barriers outside former Bowling Green pub, Blackburn Rd 400 Road Safety Markings at St.

  • Housing Land Availability Study 2008
    Housing Land Availability Study Adjusted to March 2008 Development and Regeneration Department Planning Division– Spatial Planning Team 1 Current Housing Land Commitment Adjusted to March 2008 Background 1) This note updates the housing land position relating to the situation at the 31st March 2008 and considers the distribution of development land, provides information on new planning permission ns, and assesses the balance between private and housing association provision. It also provides detailed information relating to dwellings completed in the past year. Housing Land Requirements & Supply 2) Planning Policy Statement 3: Housing (PPS 3) was published in November 2006 with an objective to ensure that the planning system delivers a flexible, responsive supply of land, reflecting the principles of “Plan, Monitor, Manage”. From April 2007 Local Planning Authorities are required to identify sufficient specific and deliverable sites to ensure a rolling 5-year supply of housing and demonstrate the extent to which existing plans already fulfil the housing requirement. To be deliverable sites must be: available, suitable and achievable in the next 5 years and there is also a requirement to demonstrate a 15 year supply. 3) To address this the Local Planning Authority is required to undertake an annual Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA). The first SHLAA for Bolton was commenced in December 2007 by consultants Roger Tym & Partners and the results from this will be published in the summer 2008 including a 5 and 15 year housing supply figures. 4) The SHLAA replaces the former annual Housing Land Availability Study that updated the housing land position in the Borough and reported on the distribution of development land, provided information on new planning permissions and dwelling completions.
