•  LSP Funding Policy

Funding Policy’s Overall Framework

Overall Framework / Policy Statement

The LSP wishes to use any money it is able to grant for partnership projects that deliver the Sustainable Community Strategy and improve the quality of life for the people who live and work in the District.

1. The Funding Policy will be reviewed annually each December.
2. The LSP Steering group will undertake annual reviews to prioritise spending in the following year and prepare a prioritised programme list.
3. The funding policy relates to what the LSP funds rather than overheads such as printing costs, events or other general administrative costs.Requests for funding will be channelled through the Steering Group’s quarterly meetings (see below for exceptions).
4.  All projects or activities that receive a grant from the LSP will be expected to comply with the LSP’s Funding agreement which will state the responsibilities of each party including regular financial and progress reports to the LSP Steering group.
5.  All funding decisions should go through the LSP Steering Group but should it be necessary to make a decision relating to funding between the Steering Group’s quarterly meetings, details of the decision will be e-mailed to the Steering Group members. If no reply has been received by a stated date it will be assumed that the Steering Group member is in agreement with the Chairman’s recommendation (or that of the Vice Chairman in the Chairman’s absence).

• Parish Plans

The Maldon District LSP is keen to promote and support Parish Plans within the District because it believes that they encourage community empowerment and foster community spirit. They also help the Partnership to identify and better understand the issues that are important to local people.

Parish Plans are a type of Community Led Plan which determines the future of where you live and how it can change for the better.  A parish Plan involves assessing the needs and aspirations of local people by carrying out surveys and workshops. It set out a vision for the future of the parish and outlines how that can be achieved in an Action Plan. 

 So far two Parish Plans have been completed in the District – North Fambridge and Southminster – but 4 more are in progress. The LSP will use the work of the parish plan groups when it reviews the Sustainable Community Strategy and advocates that all the LSP partners use the parish plans as a resource.

 The LSP has held an event for the last two years to encourage and support parish plans by bringing parish plan groups together with partner organisations from the LSP and with other parish plan groups. We hope that this can become an annual event.
