Appendix 3a - The City Educational Trust - Recommendation for Rejection - for Discussion

Minutes:

Members considered the recommendations for rejection/discussion of applications to the City Educational Trust.

 

Achievement for All (3As) Ltd

 

·         The Chairman and Deputy Chairman noted that they were minded to provide the applicant with some support, particularly given the project potentially benefited the City of London Corporation’s unique mix of state and independent schools in London.

 

·         Recognising that the application did not directly deliver educational activities to beneficiaries, Members carefully considered whether the impact of the proposal would be to advance the objects of the charity. Members also noted that the objects of the City Educational Trust fund relate to specific subject areas and that the charity’s funds could therefore only be applied to those aspects of the research relating to those subjects.

 

RESOLVED, that subject to the receipt of satisfactory financial information, Members approve a grant of £25,000 to Achievement for All (3As) Ltd from the City Educational Charity towards of the costs of the Counterpoint research project that relate to the cultural arts and Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) subjects.
