It is with great sadness that I have to advise you all that the KCC has confirmed that our Adult Social Care Grant of £29,000 will be reduced to £14,500 for the first 6 months of this year and then permanently cancelled.
This will obviously put enormous pressure on our budget, and it may well be that we will have to discontinue some of the functions we hold. Next year the pressure will be even more acute.
The situation could have been even worse if Clair Bell a Cabinet Member and Gary Cooke our local KCC Member had not fought our corner.
This brings into focus just how much the local community must step up to the mark to help its local charities, or lose them.
