This is the history for the submission "Scottish Welfare Fund Falkirk Council was allocated from the Scottish welfare fund the collective amount which had historically been paid out locally to individual applicants the previous year. This amounted to £927,822 broken down to £634,342 for "Community Care Grants" and £293,480 allocated to a "Crisis Grants Scheme". Council notes that the amounts allocated at 15 October of £174,461 in Community Care Grants and £64,138 in Crisis Grants is less than one third of the total fund with only around one third of the year remaining. It is also noted that the current method of supplying goods from a local supplier without enabling choice may not be meeting the needs of the individual concerned or best value. Council therefore agrees to amend qualifying criteria to allow maximum flexibility to meet an individual needs. Council further resolves to report on the take up of this fund to the relevant committee twice a year. Proposed by Councillor Cecil Meiklejohn ".
