Is Key decision?: Yes

Purpose:
Approval of Foreshore Trust Small Grants awards 2014/15
Decisions:
The Head of Regeneration and Planning Policy presented a report to introduce the recommendations of the Grant Advisory Panel (GAP) in respect of projects to be funded by round 4 of the Foreshore Trust Small Grants Programme 2014/15.
The purpose of the small grants programme was to assist with the improvement of the economic and financial environment in the Borough and to support organisations delivering a range of activities for local people.
The Chair of the GAP presented the panel’s recommendations to the committee. The small grants programme had been advertised from April 2014 in a variety of web pages and printed publications, and a total of 41 applications for funding had been received. Each grant application had been assessed against the Foreshore Trust’s objectives and scored by two members of the GAP, and then jointly reviewed by a meeting of the full panel. The panel had recommended approving eighteen grant applications for the 2014/15 programme, totalling £50,000. Each of the successful applications would be subject to monitoring of take up and impact of the project, in line with the Foreshore Trust’s equalities policy.
Members of the committee thanked the GAP for their efforts in assessing the applications for funding.
Councillor Cartwright moved approval of the recommendations to the report which was seconded by Councillor Forward.
RESOLVED (unanimously) that the Grant Advisory Panel’s recommendations to award small grants to the organisations shown in Appendix A of the Chair’s report be approved.
The reason for this decision was:
The Grants Advisory Panel (GAP) carefully reviewed all 41 applications received for grant support and has made its recommendations following a thorough assessment involving all members of the panel. The decision on grant funding rests with the Charity Committee. The panel’s recommendations can be funded from the allocated budget.
