Decision status: Recommendations approved
Is Key decision?: Yes

Purpose:
To monitor progress and report achievements resulting from those grant allocated to Community and Voluntary Organisations 2016/17
Decision:
The allocation of £20,000 from the Advice & Money Management commissioning theme to Oxfordshire Community Work Association(OCWA)
Reasons for the decision:
Delegation was given by CEB on 11 February 2016. The decision was made in support of a larger one-off payment totalling £53,367 to OCWA following the withdrawal of funding form the County Council. The additional funding (£33,367) was allocated from the underspend in the 15/16 budget, and approved by Council on 25 July 2016.
Alternative options considered:
Consideration was given to not awarding funding to OCWA. However, this would have had a negative impact on vulnerable residents needing support with debt issues, and help with complex benefit enquiries. The one off funding also provides capacity to OCWA to source a longer term funding solution.
