Ward Flexibility Funding – African and Caribbean Community Association

21/09/2022 - Ward Flexibility Funding – African and Caribbean Community Association

The Strategic Head of Service (Legal & Democratic Governance) has given approval to an application from African and Caribbean Community Association for a grant of £194.56 from the Ward Flexibility Fund budget (£46.16 each from the Davenport and Cale Green, Edgeley and Cheadle Heath and Manor wards, and £56.14 from the Brinnington and Central ward) towards the cost of printing costs of the association’s newsletter ‘The Advocate’ which is the only free black magazine in the Borough. The newsletter shares news that positively impacts the community, news about the covid-19 pandemic and positive information and direct messages from the government, NHS, local authority and all relevant statutory agencies.

The ward councillors have been consulted on this grant allocation and are in agreement that it be made.
