Support for Young People Post Grenfell

Report of the Chief Grants Officer.

Minutes:

The Committee received a report of the CGO requesting an extension of support for young people and families in the Grenfell Tower area.

 

Members expressed concern that some media reports stated that donated money was still not getting through to those in most need, and in response to a question the CGO confirmed that some of the funds raised would be held back for when families were rehoused and also to provide counselling.

 

The Chairman advised that delegated approval could be given for an additional  25k to that requested in the report, if necessary.

 

RESOLVED – To agree to earmark up to £125,000 from your Investing in Londoners grants budget to enable the Trust to join in a consortium of funders providing grants to local organisations to provide year-round out-of-school activities and support to young people and their families in the Grenfell/North Kensington area.
