Agenda item

Report of the Chief Grants Officer.

The Committee considered a report of the Chief Grants Officer that summarised applications received and action taken under the 2014/15 grants programmes, including the final application made under the Working With Londoners programme. Members noted that, although a pattern was now beginning to emerge in the figures, it was too early to draw any conclusions regarding trends.

The Chief Grants Officer reported that the flow of grants was lower than desired; the Trust aimed to ensure a decision was made on each application within four months, but currently this wasn’t always possible. Members noted that to address this and process more grant applications, the City Bridge Trust team were looking to increase their capacity.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted and the grant recommendations in the subsequent annexes be considered.
