Report of the Chief Grants Officer.

The Sub-Committee considered a report of the Chief Grants Officer concerning the next steps for the Central Grants Programme (CGP) and the City Cash’s contribution available to the Central Grants Unit (CGU) for distribution in grants.

The Chairman questioned the reasoning behind the accompanying appendix in the non-public section of the agenda and requested that future appendices be written, if possible, so they could be published in the public part of the agenda.

RESOLVED, that:

·         The CGP be implemented on a permanent basis with effect from 1 April 2018;

·         The City’s Cash contribution available to the CGU for distribution in grants should be uplifted to £250,000 on an ongoing basis, being an uplift of £91,000 for 2018/19;

·         The uplift of £10,000 applied to operating costs of the CGU for 2018/19 be noted and the CGU continue to charge a proportionate management fee to Charities that fall under the programme.
