Report of the Managing Director of BHE

The Committee considered a report of the Managing Director of BHE reviewing the structure of grant recommendation reports, and recommending updates to support decision-making by highlighting matters of equitable leadership and finance. The Managing Director of BHE introduced the report and outlined the reasons for the proposed amendments, adding that officers would work with the BHE & Charities Finance team to ensure financial issues were treated appropriately. The Managing Director of BHE added that whilst this matter did not strictly require Committee approval, Committee consultation had been felt appropriate, and that the amendments were proposed alongside a wider review of the BHE Board’s agenda and report formats.

RESOLVED - That the Grants Committee of the Bridge House Estates Board, in discharge of functions for the City Corporation as Trustee of Bridge House Estates (charity reg. no. 1035628) and solely in the charity’s best interests, agree that the format of grant reports is restructured so the funding recommendation is moved from the end to the top of the report and a new table is included below the recommendation setting out key issues relevant to equitable leadership and finance.
