Comments
4. On 16 November
2012, the Rodney and Hibiscus Coast Subdivision Local Board Funding
Subcommittee resolved to grant $10,000 to the Te Awaroa Youth Club towards the
Youth Vision development tool, which provides disadvantaged youth with
constructive ways to address and better their situations (RHBF/2012/6).
5. The funding
awarded for the Youth Vision development tool was to be spent between November
2012 to November 2013. Te Awaroa Youth Club (the club) uplifted the funding of
$10,000 on 21 February 2013.
6. Subsequently, a
request in writing, was received on 10 February 2014, from the manager of the
Te Awaroa Youth Club, advising the subcommittee that they were seeking a
reallocation of this grant (see Attachment A).
7. The club
advised that they were no longer able to deliver the Youth Vision development
programme due to a lack of support for the programme.
8. The club are
therefore seeking approval to reallocate this grant, to cover the $600 per week
increase in rent, at their current location;10 Awaroa Road, Helensville between
March 2014 to March 2015.
