Decision No: D120033MEM
Date: 7th March 2012
Decision(s) and Reason(s)
Key Voluntary Sector Bodies - Revised Service Level Agreements
Minutes
The report set out revised service level agreements for Age Concern Malling, Age UK Tonbridge and Sevenoaks, and Maidstone and West Kent Mediation Schemes. It also provided an update in respect of agreements for the Citizens Advice Bureau and local volunteering services.
It was considered that the agreements should ensure an appropriate level of service provision in the Borough.
Following consideration by the Communities Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Communities resolved that:
1) the draft Service Level Agreements for Age Concern Malling, Age UK Tonbridge and Sevenoaks, Maidstone/West Kent Mediation and Voluntary Action Within Kent, as set out at Annexes A and B to the report, be approved subject to the substitution of the words "the Borough" for "Tonbridge locality" in the agreement for Age UK Tonbridge and Sevenoaks;
2) grant support be offered to the following organisations for 2012/13:
Age Concern Malling - £10,000
Age UK Tonbridge and Sevenoaks - £10,000
Maidstone/West Kent Mediation - £6,000
Voluntary Action Within Kent - £5,000; and
3) further reports be made to the next meeting of the Communities Advisory Board regarding grant support for volunteering services for the Malling area and for the Tonbridge and Malling Citizens' Advice Bureau.
Reasons: As set out in the report submitted to the Communities Advisory Board of 7 March 2012.
[Councillor Worrall declared a personal and prejudicial interest in this item on the grounds of being Director of Trustees of Age Concern Malling and withdrew from the meeting during its consideration.]
