Decision details
Acceptance of Grant from Armed Forces Covenant Trust Fund
Decision Maker: Assistant director Corporate Support (Historic)
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
The acceptance of this grant will enable the
ongoing employment of the Veteran Support Centre Manager along with
the employment of a volunteer co-ordinator to enable the veteran to
veteran volunteering scheme to be continued from the success of the
voluntary effort that took place as a call to action from Lockdown
1.
The Veteran Support Centre has recently achieved charitable status
in record time so this with the grant will also support a
transition period from when the Council removes itself from the
delivery of the VSC allowing the facilitation role that has been
provided to be withdrawn in a sensible and appropriate
manner.
The VSC is also now open following a rigorous risk assessment to
ensure that it was covid-safe to undertake face to face
appointments in line with other public facing buildings that the
council has a responsibility for.
