Grants4growth is a capital grant scheme that
has been successfully run by the South Holland Economic Development
Team for the last 7 years, funded previously by ERDF monies, this
project has now finished.
However, the team is still in place, and a successful full
application was submitted to UKSPF to utilise the existing team and
methodology to deliver the supporting local business strand of
UKSPF. The ‘new’ Grants4growth project are
administering this funding on behalf of the three authorities
within the SELCP, and to enable this, two members of the team, have
S113 status to enable them to work across and on behalf of the
wider partnership, they are both currently South Holland
employees.
As budget Manager for the SHDC Inward
Investment Service, this Officer requires S113 status to enable the
continued approval of grant payments across the partnership
.
Not to renew S113 status would mean that
Grants4growth could not operate outside of South Holland.
