Decision details

The County Council’s Community Initiative Fund (CIF) provides grant funding to support community projects that aim to make a positive impact on people’s wellbeing. This fund is 140K per annum. A decision has been taken by the Council to cease this funding, so 2020/21 is its final year of operation. 

At the end of each financial year a decision is taken to establish the route for any unallocated CIF funding. It is proposed that any in-year (2020/21) underspend of CIF should be used to be utilised to support the newly established Food Partnerships across West Sussex and charities that specialise in the redistribution of otherwise wasted food.

The Cabinet Member for Fire & Rescue and Communities has approved that any in-year underspend in the Community Initiative Fund for 2020/21 will be utilised to bolster the activity of Food Partnerships across West Sussex and charities that specialise in the redistribution of otherwise wasted food.
