Minutes:
The Assistant Director, Regeneration and Culture, presented the annual report of the Grant Advisory Panel. She stated that the current round had been heavily oversubscribed.
The report gave an overview of the Panel’s activities in 2016/17 relating to the small
grants programme and two rounds of the events grants programme, and also included a number of case studies about the beneficiaries of these grants which illustrated the positive impact of the Trust’s grants programmes in the town.
During Events Grants Round 4 and 5, fourty five applications were received for grant funding. Following a full assessment process, the panel had recommended that twenty two of these applications be approved at various levels and subject to certain conditions.
During the Small Grants Round 6, thirty nine applications were received for grant funding. Under the same process, fifteen of these applications were approved at various levels and subject to certain conditions.
Andrew Colquhoun Chair of the Grants Advisory Panel was present to answer questions. He thanked officers in the Regeneration team for their support to the panel.

Barry Cooper resigned and Sandra Garner resigned. The Committee agreed to recruit two new members, Susannah Farley-Green and Jo Clark at its meeting in December 2016.
