Decision:
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 18 June 2019 the South Chichester County Local Committee considered the Community Initiative Funding applications received via the West Sussex Crowd as set out in Appendix A.
The following pledge was approved: -
345/SC - Building a Legacy for our Community (St Paul's Church & Parish Centre), up to £1,750.00, towards upgrading disability access and improving the reception area's insulation.
The following pledge was declined: -
359/SC - Reaching out through sculpture (Sussex Arts Academy), up to £3,799.00, towards the creation of a community sculpture garden. The Committee declined application as the project showed little overall community benefit as there was limited and unclear public access or wider public utility. This is due to the project being contained within a school, which is also State funded. It therefore did not fit with CIF criteria.
The call-in deadline is 26 June 2016.
