Agenda item

A Member queried the extent to which successful grantees were asked to promote the City Bridge Trust.  Officers advised that the grant letter asked charities for “due recognition”, and successful applicants were sent the Trust’s logo and put in contact with the Corporation’s press office. They also advised that, during monitoring visits, checks were made as to whether appropriate recognition was being given.

Members acknowledged that publicity must remain proportional to the grant amount, but were keen to utilise all opportunities for promotion and, as such, officers undertook to highlight routinely the importance of recognition with applicants, and to report back at a future meeting as to the scope for encouraging promotion within the current policies.

RESOLVED – That officers:

a)    Highlight routinely the importance of recognition with applicants; and

b)    report back at a future meeting as to the scope for encouraging promotion within the current policies.
