Agenda item

Your City Bridge Trust Committee, which currently makes grants totalling about £16 million annually to voluntary organisations across Greater London, has recently undertaken its five-yearly review of its policies and priorities through which grants are made under its existing Working with Londoners programmes.

Following consultation, research and statistical analysis, as well as careful examination in several informal seminars to ensure that the grants are targeting the most important areas of need to assist the inhabitants of Greater London, we are now proposing to revise our priorities.  We submit a separately printed and circulated report suggesting variations to our overarching policies, particularly to ensure that our resources are applied where they will be most effective and we recommend approval thereof.
