Area Committee Grants 2015-16 - EAC

04/08/2015 - Area Committee Grants 2015-16 - EAC

The Committee received a report from the Community Funding & Development Manager.

 

Members considered applications for grants as set out in the Officer’s report (Appendix 1, in line with the Area Committee Community Grants criteria detailed in paragraph 3.3.3) and also listed in the table below. The Community Funding & Development Manager responded to Member’s questions about individual projects and what funding aimed to achieve. She said that details in funding application documents set out the City Council was a living wage employer and so expected applicants to be too. The Community Funding & Development Manager was working with the Living Wage Co-ordinator and Executive Councillor on how to further incorporate this expectation into the application process in future.
