Recommendations approved.
Reasons for recommendations
To ensure the funding is allocated to residents who are facing financial pressures throughout winter months until 31st March 2024.
Other options considered and rejected
1. To not allocate the grant funding would mean that those residents that need the support would not receive it.
2. To aim to deliver this funding in isolation of the voluntary sector and other partners would not maximise the support that residents are able to access from this sector.
