Grant Distribution to Community Anchors - Extension

A new contract was approved by cabinet on 27th July 2021 allowing a grant distribution of £360,000 over a two-year period and commenced on the 1st September 2021 with a robust VCSE led selection process to identify the key lead Anchors across Kirklees. Lead Anchors commenced work in communities from the 1st October 2021. The current provision is due to end on the 31st March 2023.

 

The Cabinet report seeks approval to continue existing arrangements already agreed by cabinet on 27/07/2021 to make a grant payment of £180,000 over an additional 12-month period to the current Community Anchors (having been appointed under a competitive tender process) to enable them to continue to develop the offer that supports the PCNs as part of the integrated model. Longer term we will work with internal and external partners to enable longer term sustainability.
