Agenda item

To receive a report of the Chief Grants Officer.

The Committee considered a report of the Chief Grants Officer, which dealt with the recommendations relating to applications received on the current programmes. Members noted that a total of 27 applications would be dealt with at the meeting, of which 10 were recommended for approval, 6 recommended for rejection, 3 had been withdrawn and 2 had lapsed. 6 were noted as proposed for approval under delegated authority.

The Deputy Chairman remarked that Table 2 – Grant approvals by outcome area – was in a much-improved format but, in future, could provide more details on the trends, the balance of funds, and additional analysis. In reply, officers advised they were happy to amend the report as advised and to receive further comments on the structure of the report so that it could best serve as a strategic tool.

RESOLVED – That,

a)    Members note the content of the report; and

b)    the individual grant recommends in relation to the applications set out in the summary schedule and other papers be considered.
