Decision details

The Community Initiative Fund is a County Local Committee (CLC) administered fund that provides assistance to local community projects. Bids should show evidence of projects that have the support of the community and make a positive impact on people’s wellbeing and support The West Sussex Plan.

At its meeting on 2 March 2020 the Worthing County Local Committee considered the Community Initiative Funding as set out in Appendix A and approved the following:

Microfund

·       471/W – Green Tides, ‘Office equipment to support secretary role’, £273.98 - towards purchasing a laptop, laminator and printer.  It was agreed that should Adur CLC not agree the other 50% of the application then Worthing would fund the whole application of £547.96.

·       475/W – It Socks to be Lonely Sometimes Ltd, ‘The Glamour Club’, £739.26 - towards purchasing publicity materials for the club's bi-monthly meets.

West Sussex Crowd

·       484/W – Worthing Choral Society, ‘Bringing Carmina to Worthing’, up to £2,224.00 - towards hiring Worthing Assembly Hall for final rehearsal and evening performance of 'Carmina Burana’.

The Committee also agreed to revoke the previously agreed pledge of £5,000.00 to 451/W – Trading Places – Practical Skills Matter as the project had not yet started fundraising and did not appear to be ready to in the near future.  Members agreed this could be reconsidered at a future date if the project started fundraising.

The call in deadline for this is 10 March 2020
