For background see Tendring Community Fund Guidance Notes. https://www.tendringdc.gov.uk/community/grants-funding/community-funding
The Working Party for the Tendring Community Fund was established by the Leader of the Council. The Working Party assessed all applications received and awarded grants to those applications that most closely met the aims of the fund as described in the guidance notes and which were considered to provide greatest community benefit overall.

Alternative options considered:

To award all applications the full amount requested – Option rejected as insufficient funds are available.
To award as many grants as possible, some with less than requested to enable greatest reach and ensure a second round for applications can take place. Option accepted.
