6        (6)  COMMUNITY GRANT AID – CASH FOR YOUR COMMUNITY – The Director of Places and the Director of People submitted a joint report which sought consideration of a partnership opportunity with the Scunthorpe Telegraph to provide financial support to local community groups.

The council had received an approach from the Scunthorpe Telegraph offering the opportunity to be involved in the Cash for Your Community promotion, which would run in the paper for 11 weeks.

The report provided confirmation that the council and the Scunthorpe Telegraph would both contribute £10,000.

Cheques for the winners would be issued by Northcliffe Media in the New Year, and representatives from North Lincolnshire and Scunthorpe Telegraph would present the top three winners of the competition with their cheques.

Resolved – (a) That the offer to partner with the Scunthorpe Telegraph Cash for Your Community promotion be approved, and (b) that a partnership fund of £10,000 allocated from the Council’s Community Grant Fund be approved with the condition that funds allocated can only be used for the benefit of voluntary groups based in North Lincolnshire.
