Meeting: 09/12/2019 - Charity Committee (Item 50)
50 Resolution to Charity Commission PDF 122 KB
Minutes:
Chris Barkshire-Jones presented a report to propose that the Charity Committee request that the Charity Commission agrees to amend the Scheme dated 13 January 2011 to increase the membership of the Grants Advisory Panel to a maximum of 10.
In 2011 the Grants Advisory Panel were considering one round of grant applications in regard to small organisations. In 2014 the Grants Advisory Panel were considering two rounds of grant applications as the Trust agreed a new ‘events’ fund. These two rounds of grant applications were combined in April 2019. These involve the Grants Advisory Panel considering an average of 30 applications.
Councillor Batsford proposed approval of the recommendation, seconded by Councillor Forward.
RESOLVED (unanimously):
To instruct the Chief Legal Officer to send the Charity Committee’s resolution to the Charity Commission requesting that the maximum number of Grants Advisory Panel members be increased to 10 and therefore amend the Scheme dated 13 January 2011.
Reasons:
From 2011 the Grants Advisory Panel were involved in one grants application process which in time increased to two. It is the Trusts intention to offer a further larger grant from June 2020. The current chair of the Grants Advisory Panel believes that the process requires two further members to be able to cope with the workload.
