The Strategic Head of Service (Legal &
Democratic Governance) has given approval to an application from
Renew Stockport for a grant of £700 from the Ward Flexibility
Fund budget (£200 each from the Davenport and Cale Green,
Edgeley and Cheadle Heath and Manor wards, and £100 from the
Brinnington and Central ward) towards the cost of training amateur
actors (refugees and asylum seekers) to perform a drama for Farsi
speakers in Stockport to support the refugee community to keep in
touch with their Persian culture and prevent social
isolation.
The ward councillors have been consulted on this grant allocation
and are in agreement that it be made.
