Outstanding Actions

Report of the Town Clerk

Minutes:

The Committee received a list of outstanding actions, noting those which were on the agenda or were scheduled for a future meeting. The CGO advised Members that work was ongoing with regards to outreach work with targeted Boroughs, and that that City Bridge Trust were talking to other funders about the best way to target ‘cold spots’.

 

The Committee noted the Bridging Divides Members Briefing on 16 October, which would include wider information for Members on the City Bridge Trust and provide Members with the tools and knowledge to refer organisations to the Trust. Based on Members feedback at the briefing, a document offering Members key information and advice about the City Bridge Trust and Central Grants Unit could be drafted.

 

The CGO gave Members clarification on Partnership for Young London following a query about its relationship with the City of London Corporation at the previous meeting. Partnership for Young London was an independent organisation that was based on the Guildhall complex. The Corporation had a representative on the organisation’s Board, and another Member was on the Children & Young People’s Committee, therefore also attending meetings. The organisation paid a fee to the Corporation for a support package which included desk space and use of IT services. The Committee was advised that the Comptroller and City Solicitor was working on a document that would regularise the legal basis for this kind of relationship.

 

RESOLVED – That the Outstanding Actions update be noted, and updated accordingly.
