Agenda item

The Committee considered a report of the Chief Grants Officer, which recommended that thirty seven grant applications be rejected for the reasons identified in the schedule attached to the report. Members queried how far smaller charities could get in the application process before being rejected, and officers advised that the eligibility criteria was publicised widely and was inbuilt on the online application process. Members queried whether charities could be reimbursed for their time, and officers undertook to consider proportionate grant-making as part of the Quinquennial Review.

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