The following comments were made:-

·         It was noted that the club includes members from across Stockport.

·         The funding would also support training for adults, safeguarding training, and first aid training.

·         That Members were supportive of the organisation and felt that individual sports provide young people with a different set of skills than team sports.

·         It was queried why the application came to Stepping Hill Area Committee, but Members did not wish to reject the application on this issue. 

RESOLVED - The approval be given to an application from Heatons Runners for a grant of £150 from the Ward Flexibility Budget towards the cost having gait tests done and purchasing running trainers for members of the club.
