            The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, Enterprise, Community and Resources, which provided information on the Heartstone Odyssey Book Festival and sought approval for Halton’s participation in the project. Heartstone were currently engaging with all the local authorities in the Liverpool City Region and the report provided a detailed briefing about the project including a financial breakdown.

            It was noted that the requested match was £2,200 and it had been agreed by the Safer Halton Partnership to use monies from years 2-5 of the Home Office sponsored resettled refugee pot and the Board were asked to support this decision.

            RESOLVED: That the contents of the report be noted and Halton’s participation in the project be agreed.
