The Area Board noted the budgets remaining for allocation at the meeting and heard from representatives in attendance who gave a brief overview of, and were questioned about, their projects. The Chairman highlighted that there was insufficient Youth funding available to award all of the applications for Young People’s funding in full, but that some applications may also meet the funding criteria for the other funding streams.
