RESOLVED: That the grants received at the inquorate meeting held Tuesday 2^nd December 2013 be agreed.

 

Members noted that there had not been a large number of applications to consider, and it could be the case that smaller charities required less funding, and some charities were more aligned with the Trust’s charitable objectives.

 

Members and officers agreed that the Town Clerk would liaise with Children and Community Services, or the appropriate department, on informing charitable organisations of the various charitable trusts administered by the City Corporation including the Management Committee of the Corporation Benevolent Association, Committee of Alderman to Administer the Sir William Coxen Trust Fund and the Trustees of the Emanuel Hospital Charitable Trust.

 

When the Town Clerk wrote to those applicants who were unsuccessful, they would be advised to be more specific for their request for funding and alignment with the objectives of the Trust in future.
