Submitted – a report by the Treasurer in relation to the above.

 

The Treasurer reported that 29 grant applications were received which totalled to £1.170m.  The Regeneration Committee was held on 13 February, 2019 and agreed a shortlist of applications and identified those where additional information was required from the applicants.  A further meeting of the Regeneration Committee was held on 14 March, 2019 where the applications were considered with the additional information and the level of funding that should be recommended for approval was agreed.  It was decided that 11 applications should be recommended for approval by the full Trust which totalled £319k.  The Treasurer outlined the reasons as to why the 12 applications received were not supported as was outlined within Appendix 3 of the report. It was further noted that as outlined in Appendix 4 of the report 4 other applications were received but it was explained that they received funding in the last 5 years and where not therefore supported. 

 

It was also decided at the Regeneration Committee to request that the application from MônFM for 3 years funding be taken out of the Large Grants application process and be treated as a special case with support form the core capital funds.  The application has been considered under item 9.

 

The Treasurer further reported that a late application was received from Copperfest, Amlwch.  The Regeneration Committee agreed to accept the late application and to forward the application to the full Trust for a decision.
