Changes to Grant Funding to Ocean Regeneration Trust (ORT)
The GDSC panel approved £900k for
three-year funding of the Ocean Regeneration Trust (ORT)in January
2019. Part of this funding was to take on a lease of Harford
Community Centre. This is not being taken forward and the council
would like to make a final one-off payment of £80k and not go
ahead with the original approval.
The council is changing its funding approach to ORT and ORT is
changing its management arrangements internally. This report sets
out those details.
