The Committee considered a report of the Town Clerk which provided information of the actions taken by the Town Clerk since the last meeting of the Committee, in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, in accordance with Standing Orders 41(a) and 41(b). The decisions were:

·           A donation of £20,000 to Save The Children’s Nigeria Food Crisis Emergency Appeal

·           A donation of £25,000 to the Disaster Emergency Committee’s Yemen Crisis Emergency Appeal

·           Christmas donations of £2,500 each to The Parent House, Crisis, The Stuart Low Trust and Solace Women’s Aid.

A Member asked whether the Corporation received information about how the Corporation’s donations to disaster relief efforts were spent. The Town Clerk explained that the Corporation was periodically provided with updates regarding these donations and explained that, in future, he would ensure that these updates were circulated to Members.

RESOLVED – That the Committee notes the report.
