Roma Support Group

The Committee welcomed Sylvia Ingmire and Gaba Smolinska-Poffey to the meeting to speak about the work of the Roma Support Group. The Committee was shown a short film about the experiences of Roma people in London before Sylvia and Gaba gave the Committee some background on their work and experiences. Roma Support Group worked with East European Roma refugees and migrants to provide support and improve access to information, community resources and health services, particularly around mental health.

 

For decades Roma people had faced widespread discrimination in society, receiving negative press coverage and subjected to very negative stereotypes. As a result, Roma people often worried about publicly disclosing their identity and heritage, to the extent that it affected access to health services and education. Institutional discrimination in some countries had also created significant issues for Roma people. This discrimination was still happening today, and migrants of Roma heritage often had difficult and negative experiences. The Institute for Health and Human Development had found that Roma migrants to the UK experienced higher levels of stress and depression. This further affected the abilities of Roma people to access services and support.

 

Roma Support Group aimed to support mental health issues and facilitate access to services, also providing one-to-one advocacy and distributing information. Roma Support Group also aimed to raise awareness of mental health issues within the Roma community and tackle lasting stigma around the subject, using peer advocacy and support groups to reach out and build trust and support networks within the community. Roma Support Group were pleased with their outcomes, which had exceeded expectations. Three-quarters of beneficiaries surveyed reported an improved understanding of the healthcare system and services, and half of them felt increasingly independent. Over 360 people had engaged with services, which exceeded Roma Support Group’s target.

 

The charity was based in Canning Town with an outreach office in West London. Whilst service users from other boroughs visited the charity, most users were from Newham, where there was a large Roma population, and other North and East London boroughs. Some charity projects centred on the Traveller or Gypsy communities may work with the Roma community, but Roma Support Group was the only dedicated Roma charity in London.

 

The Committee thanked Sylvia and Gaba for their excellent presentation, and circulated information and leaflets from the Roma Support Group.

Report of the Chief Grants Officer and Director of City Bridge Trust

 ...  view the full agenda text for item 5.

Minutes:

The Committee received the regular progress report of the Chief Grants Officer & Director of City Bridge Trust (CGO) and discussed the updates provided.

 

Brexit Update

 

The CGO provided the Committee with a verbal update on Brexit. Officers had liaised with the NCVO who had produced a Brexit preparation guide which was proving popular within the sector. A number of different aspects of the charity sector were being taken into account, such as structural funds. The Government had pledged to underwrite all successful bids for EU funding until the end of the current funding cycle in 2023. Whilst there were many variables and uncertainty, conversations were ongoing regarding mitigation of the impact of a no-deal Brexit on themes relevant to the sector such as immigration status, social division and inequality.

 

The CGO advised the Committee that a full briefing note would be circulated to Members, including a link to the NCVO publication.

 

Impact and Learning Update

 

The CGO advised that Renaisi, the Bridging Divides learning partner, was conducting work on the values of City Bridge Trust, and as part of this work Members would be invited to contribute their views. The Chair added that responses to the survey would be appreciated.

 

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.

Additional documents:

Minutes:

The Committee considered a report of the CGO presenting the final high-level business plan for the City Bridge Trust Department for 2019/20. The Chair advised the Committee of suggested amendments, principally that the business plan should reference Philanthropy House, as it formed part of the implementation of the Philanthropy Strategy.

 

A Member advised that the business plan needed to take full account of the wider review of the governance of Bridge House Estates. The CGO responded that this work was ongoing through the Task and Finish group, which would soon be reporting to Committees. Any decisions on funding allocation would be made in conjunction with Members. Multiple committees would be consulted on the narrative of the charitable review so far and the way forward, and to inform on the requirements of the bridges, plus developing distinct investment strategies for the charity, and for each of the permanent endowment and unrestricted income funds within the Bridge House Estates fund. The Chair asked that an item encompassing this be added to the outstanding actions list.

 

The Chair also advised reviewing the target dates set within the ‘What we will measure’ section to ensure they were correct and appropriate.

 

RESOLVED – That, pending amendments resulting from the feedback from Members, the City Bridge Trust’s high-level business plan be approved.

Report of the Chief Grants Officer and Director of City Bridge Trust

 ...  view the full agenda text for item 9a

Minutes:

The Committee considered a report of the CGO on the Ideas Please initiative. It was proposed to launch a call for applications through the Ideas Please mechanism. Inviting organisations to design and deliver six-month pilot interventions to develop the resilience of their frontline workers. The proposal had developed from conversations at learning visits and was being also built upon by London Funders. There had been interest from other funders and an offer to contribute to costs had already been received.

 

Members were positive about the proposal, and suggested that if successful, the proposal might even be applied beyond the charity sector into the public sector. The CGO responded that officers had collected information and learning to this end and would continue to work to draw knowledge together.

 

RESOLVED – That the City Bridge Trust Committee:

 

a)    Agree the name of the programme as Responding to the Resilience Risk;

 

b)    Agree the indicative allocation of funds, as outlined in para 24, from your 2019/20 budget and which includes an allocation of £100,000 for pilot grants; and

CBT Approach to Climate Action pdf icon PDF 103 KB

Minutes:

The Committee considered a report of the CGO setting out the work City Bridge Trust has done to date to encourage improved environmental practice and proposing further steps to strengthen the charitable sector’s knowledge and capacity, based on City Bridge Trust’s value of ‘care for the environment’, as set out in Bridging Divides.

 

The CGO introduced the report and asked Members what actions they felt the City Bridge Trust Committee could lead on. The Committee was advised that City Bridge Trust would also hold discussions with other funders about what they were doing and opportunities to work together. The Chair drew Members’ attentions to the proposals starting on page 139 and asked the Committee which they felt should be prioritised.

 

Members endorsed the proposals and were supportive of the direction of travel.

A Member said that they were delighted with the report and with the proposition of the City Bridge Trust providing leadership in this area, for which the entire City of London Corporation was responsible. The Member asked how City Bridge Trust planned to tie in with other parts of the organisation. Due to the importance of environmental work, prioritising actions was hugely challenging, and all proposals should be pursued as far as was possible.

 

The Deputy Chairman added that items l and m had also been the focus of the Investment Committee and Investment Boards, for example in the City of London Corporation becoming a signatory to the Principles of Responsible Investing (PRI) and developing an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Policy. A Member added that ESG rating was now an important consideration of the Financial Investment Board in selecting fund managers, and suggested that this could be extended to grantees.
