Report of the Chief Grants Officer & Director of City Bridge Trust.

Members received a report of the Chief Grants Officer & Director of City Bridge Trust relative to the Benefits In Kind Reporting – Interim Update. The reporting period reflected changes in reporting deadlines agreed at the previous meeting, which looked at the financial year end in line with the City Corporation’s Philanthropy Strategy. COVID-19 restrictions had also impacted upon Benefits in Kind (BiK) due offered in respect of premises and other facilities. However, significant other BiK support had been provided in response to COVID-19 and these will be considered in more detail and a report presented in the 2020/21 BIK Annual Report. It was noted that the BiK policy had been reviewed and was considered to be satisfactory but that further work was required to support implementation and reporting by Departments.

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