To consider approval for grant acceptance of
the grant funding provided by Department for Business and Trade, to
provide the Growth Hub Business Support service across York and
North Yorkshire for the financial year 1 April 2023 to 31 March
2024. The service is provided by York and North Yorkshire Local
Enterprise Partnership, for whom North Yorkshire Council acts as
Accountable Body.
Acceptance of the grant in the sum of
£298,250 from Department for Business and Trade to provide
the Yorkshire and North Yorkshire Growth Hub business support
service to continue during 2023/2024 for the benefit of businesses
across York and North Yorkshire.
To maximise the opportunity to access
Department for Business and Trade funding into the York and North
Yorkshire area for delivery of the Growth Hub free business support
service. The programme provides free business support to enable
local economic growth which can be accessed by all businesses in
York and North Yorkshire.
The alternative would be to decline the grant,
which would result in being unable to provide the level of service
expected by Government, through the DBT approach to delivery of
local business support through Mayoral Combined Authorities/Local
Enterprise Partnerships.
