NCCBC Facilities and Youth One-off Funding 2022-23
GRANTS TO THIRD SECTOR ORGANISATIONS TO HELP WITH POST-PANDEMIC RECOVERY
At their meeting on 9th February 2022 NCCBC Directors agreed in principle to implement a programme to provide partially restricted one-off grants in 2022 to assist with recovery of community facilities post covid. It was aimed firstly at voluntary organisations and social enterprises based in North Carrick who:
- Lease or own property and/or have responsibility for the running costs of premises
- Experienced and can demonstrate significant strain caused by the pandemic
Organisations that received grants would be required to submit bank statements within 1 year showing which items of running costs (e.g., staff costs, maintenance costs, utilities) or which new equipment costs had been met from the grant funding. Exclusions for use of the funds would be to pay existing loans secured or unsecured, and payments for hospitality or purchases of alcohol.
In addition to the above, and in recognition of the forthcoming Strategy for Youth, it was agreed that youth organisations would also be given post-covid kick-start support. NCCBC Directors noted that some of these organisations would receive grants from the Locality Planning Group. It was agreed that NCCBC’s grants would be used to top-up all of the organisations so that, in total, they receive grants of £2,500.
We are pleased to report that organisations across North Carrick have now benefitted from this funding, alongside the funding from the Locality Planning Group to help return to pre-covid activities! We look forward to hearing more about how this funding has helped groups and clubs to restart and venues to reopen their doors to the community.
