Agenda item

The Committee considered a report of the Chief Grants Officer which recommended that 11 grant applications in the Working with Londoners programme be rejected for the reasons identified in the schedule attached to the report.

Discussions ensued regarding Northwood Live at Home Scheme and Members said detailed assurances were required explaining why the grant had been rejected as it could seem that other applicants with similar schemes are accepted. Officers informed the Committee that this organisation held a very high level of free reserves and under the existing City Bridge Trust grants policy large housing providers were typically not funded to provide services for their own residents.

RESOLVED: That the grant applications detailed in the schedule attached to the report be rejected.
