Title of Report	Community Youth Grants

1. Purpose of the report:
To ask Councillors to consider the following applications seeking funding from the Tidworth Area Board.

Application	Grant Amount
Applicant: The Any Body Can Cook Community Interest Company Project Title: Cooking with confidence	£1000.00
Applicant: Tedworth Equestrian Project Title: The Tedworth Saddle Club Youth Project	£5000.00
Total grant amount requested at this meeting	£6000

2. Main Considerations

Councillors will need to be satisfied that grants awarded in the 2019/20 year are made to projects that can realistically proceed within a year of the award being made.

Area Boards have authority to approve Area Grants under powers delegated to them by the Cabinet member for Communities, Campuses, Area Boards, Leisure, Libraries and Flooding. Under the Scheme of Delegation Area Boards must adhere to the Area Board Grants Guidance 2019/2020.


Community Youth Grants will contribute to the continuance and/or improvement of cultural, social and community activity and wellbeing in the community area, the extent and specifics of which will be dependent upon the individual project.

Community Youth Grants give all local community and voluntary groups, Town and Parish Councils an equal opportunity to receive funding towards community based projects and schemes.
