Questions on Matters Relating to the Work of the Committee

Minutes:

A Member said that the Committee had previously approved charitable health organisations. Whilst there was no issue in funding things that had a proven benefit, the Member added that they would be less comfortable with the idea of funding elements such as homeopathy, and asked whether City Bridge Trust had a position on this. The CGO responded that the Trust did not currently have a position, but would look into the matter and come back to Members.

 

A Member suggested that the Committee could mirror the Gateway process used at other committees and provide a cover sheet which set out a summary of criteria for the Bridging Divides strategy and grant applications to make clearer how each application fit the criteria and met the City Bridge Trust’s priorities. The CGO responded that this could be provided as a separate annex and tabled at meetings, or could be circulated electronically with the agenda before meetings.
