Agenda item

Report of the Town Clerk.

Members discussed the opportunity to engage with other stakeholders and livery companies, and tasked officers with producing a paper to go to the Livery Committee promoting the Board and encouraging engagement from those Livery Companies with an active interest in social investment and with funds to invest. Members (recognising that individual terms of appointment to the Board run annually) expressed their hope that any Livery co-option would continue for at least three years to ensure continuity, and proposed offering an induction session to help new members to the Board get ‘up to speed’.

RESOLVED – That:

a)    a senior representative of the Mercers' Company be co-opted to the Social Investment Board; and

b)    the Chief Grants Officer prepare a paper for the Livery Committee, promoting the Board and encouraging engagement from Livery Companies.
