Agenda item

Members discussed the application and agreed that, despite the project’s reach outside of London (and therefore outside the Trust’s Charitable Objects), the charity was unique and particularly worthwhile and the grant recommendation reflected the fact that 25% of the BiPolar UK eCommunity were Londoners (not 15% as reported by mistake in the agenda). In addition, officers confirmed that they would ask the organisation to implement appropriate systems to ensure that the London benefit could be determined.
