Description
Report of the Cabinet Member with responsibility for Communities, Leisure and Tourism
Matter for Decision (to consider...)
To seek growth funding to ensure equitable access to information, advice and support services for people with disabilities across East Suffolk.
Service Area 2
Not Applicable
Is Decision District Wide
No
Decision Made
That an additional £12,000 per annum to fund the Disability Advice Service to provide information, advice and support on all aspects of living with a disability to disabled people in the former Suffolk Coastal area, and a small increase in grant funding of £1,000 per year for Disability Advice North East Suffolk which provides services in the former Waveney area be approved.
Reason for Decision
Currently, ESC is funding independent information, advice and support for residents with disabilities in the north of the District but not funding equivalent provision in the south of the District. Given the impact of the pandemic on people with disabilities and the increase in demand seen by both DANES and DAS, it was clear that this investment will enable a priority group in East Suffolk to continue to receive tailored, targeted support.
