Background
There are a number of re-occurring community grants that have a strong impact on residents wellbeing and access to information to maintain resilience and influence positive change. These are grants rather than a contracted service as this is a financial contribution to the work these charities and not for profit organisations carry out. Not providing funding would significantly reduce their ability to have a positive impact on residents lives.
