Decision details

This report seeks approval for a funding award towards Relate Solent. 

‘Relate Solent’ represents a partnership between two Relate branches.  Relate Solent provides couple counselling, family counselling, individual relationship support and training courses in life skills. 

Relate Solent wishes to provide a funding subsidy for Fareham residents wishing to access local Counselling Services.  Residents can access services in either Eastleigh or Portsmouth. Fareham residents can also access support through a locally based office in High Street, Fareham.

The provision of funding for two years would provide the partnership with a bursary for use by local clients; this would enable the service to be more accessible to those residents, who are unable to pay the full cost of a session. 

Any award would be subject to a satisfactory service specification being agreed.

RESOLVED that the Executive approves the award of a grant of £4,000 per annum for a period of two years to Relate Solent.
