Agenda item

The Committee considered a report of the Chief Grants Officer which recommended that 19 grant applications from the Working with Londoners programme be rejected for the reason identified in the schedule attached to the report.

In response to a query from a Member on why certain grants objectives and aims may not sufficiently address CBT grant programme aims and outcomes, the Chairman and officers advised that organisations were assessed on a case by case basis, may be encouraged to re-apply at a later date, and with full and detailed reasons not necessarily given due to the nature of the report being public.

A Member queried what the timeline was for grant applicants to receive notice of rejection and if they could receive feedback from the relevant grants officer. Officers advised that unsuccessful applicants were advised as such in writing as soon as possible, allowing for such decisions to be approved by Committee. The letter outlined the application’s rejection, while further details could be obtained, if they wished, by contacting the Trust.

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