To update the Executive on a successful funding bid for the Intervention Team and seek approval to amend the funding structure previously approved to cover a third year of the Team.

Decision

That the re-allocation of £60,000 reserve funding into 2020/21 used to enable the Intervention Team to continue through to December 2021 be approved.

None.

The Lincoln Intervention Team was introduced in October 2018 as a one year project. Further funding had since been secured via the Council and partners to continue for a further year, however, a successful funding application to the National Lottery Community Fund had enabled the project to continue through to a third year.

Proposed funding structures for the second and third year were set out within the report with a re-profiled spending account outlined in paragraph seven of the report.

It was noted that the Intervention Team provided a holistic and innovative service that worked closely with key partners to achieve an improvement for both individuals and communities that would lead to sustainable positive changes.
