To consider an application for funding from the Brookfield Park Shiers Family Trust received from Abney Scout & Guide Training and Residential Centre for a grant of £10,000 towards the cost of updating and modernising the centre’s existing toilets, disabled toilet, and shower facilities.

A representative of the Assistant Director for Legal and Democratic Governance submitted an application received on behalf of Abney Scout & Guide Training and Residential Centre (copies of which had been circulated) which sought funding to enhance the community facility by updating and modernising the centre’s existing toilets, disabled toilet, and shower facilities.

The applicant attended the meeting to speak to the application and respond to questions from the Sub Committee.

Members welcomed the application and proposals to enhance this important community facility for its users. It was noted that the application requested a significant amount of funding from the Trust, and consideration was given to maintaining the sustainability and integrity of the Trust fund in enabling the Trust to continue to support projects. The applicant was also encouraged to explore other opportunities for funding, and the Sub Committee welcomed further updates on the project as it progressed.

RESOLVED – That approval be given to an application from Abney Scout & Guide Training and Residential Centre for a grant of £6,000 towards the cost of updating and modernising the centre’s existing toilets, disabled toilet, and shower facilities.
