Agenda item

The Committee received a report of the CGO advising Members of funds awarded through the London Community Response Fund (LCRF) under delegated authority for wave 3.

A Member raised the issue of the equity lens report on various waves of that fund, and commented that the prioritisation of user-led organisations led to a better outcome in distributing grants, which was an interesting learning point which could be applied to CBT’s broader grant-giving. The CGO advised that this was an example of the COVID-19 response threading through to CBT’s usual business.

In response to a question from a Member, the CGO confirmed that the Latin America Women’s Rights Service had received two grants, one in their own name for a specific project and one in partnership with another organisation, which was permitted by LCRF. The CGO added that very small organisations that might not normally be eligible could make applications via a host organisation.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
