City Bridge Trust Communications and Events Attended

Minutes:

The Committee received a report of the Chief Grants Officer and Director of City Bridge Trust updating on the communications work of the City Bridge Trust. The Committee noted a printing error that had led to some pages in the agenda being duplicated. The Chairman informed the Committee that she and the Deputy Chairman had been present at the London Borough of Culture announcement and a picture of them with the Mayor of London had gone viral on social media.

 

The Chief Grants Officer and Director of City Bridge Trust informed the Committee about the communications and media plans for launching Bridging Divides. Officers had developed a strategy to identify and engage with key audiences. The strategy included updating the website, new leaflets and press releases, and would aim for a wide spread in the media. Members were invited to look at the plans and share any feedback they had with officers.

 

The Committee noted that the Chairman would be speaking as part of a panel at the next All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for London meeting. This would be attended by City Bridge Trust partners and London MPs and would be a good opportunity to promote Bridging Divides. Work was also ongoing with the GLA.

 

RESOLVED – That the report be received, and its contents noted.
