Verbal update of the Senior Grants Officer.

Officers provided an update on the Central Grants Programme which had launched in August 2016 with an online portal and new application process. Members noted there were four strategic funding themes: Inspiring London through Culture; Enjoying Green Spaces and the Natural Environment; Stronger Communities; and Education and Employment; with this Sub-Committee overseeing the application of funds under the latter.  

Members noted that Senior Grants Officer Jack Joslin had been seconded from the City Bridge Trust to oversee the Central Grants Programme and ensure a robust and standardised approach to grant making was being made across the Corporation, and that Members’ feedback about the process, level of detail given and its presentation was welcomed.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
