DIRECT FOOD SUPPORT FUND Minutes: The Cabinet Member considered a report on proposals to establish a suite of initiatives to support the needs of people facing food poverty in Carmarthenshire, as part of the Welsh Government’s Direct Food Support Fund for 2023/24 for which the Council had been allocated a budget of £45,647 (capital funding) and £55,916 (revenue funding).
In order to support the needs of local communities, it was proposed the funding be used to deliver the following 3rd party grants (as detailed within the report) which would be administered by the Council’s Bureau Team within Economic Development:
· Foodbank Support · Digital Support · Capital Fund
The Cabinet Member noted that with regard to the support to be provided to food banks located within Carmarthenshire, foodbanks located within neighbouring authority areas would also be eligible to apply for funding subject to them providing support to residents within Carmarthenshire.
