To submit a report by the Treasurer in relation to the above.

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

 

It was reported that the purpose of the report was to consider applications relevant to the Isle of Anglesey Charitable Trust. Allocations are made annually for the Isle of Anglesey Charitable Trust to the following categories of projects :-

 

·        Community and Sporting Facilities (small capital projects)

·        Other Grants (mainly one-off small grants)

 

At its meeting on 25 January, 2017 the full Trust resolved to delegate a budget of £125,000 to this Committee for the annual grants programme. The full Trust also resolved at its meeting on 13 September, 2016 to delegate authority to the General Grants Committee to approve Small Grants applications and therefore the full Charitable Trust will only need to note the minutes of the General Grant Committee thereafter.  The grant limit in respect of Community and Sporting Facilities Grants is £8,000 and up to 70% of the

eligible cost. However, in its meeting on the 21 April, 2011, the full Trust resolved to provide flexibility to this Committee to increase the upper limit and percentage rate of support in light of applications received.

 

The relevant Officers from within the Isle of Anglesey County Council have considered and prioritised the applications received as far as possible and consistent with the Trust’s decisions and criteria established in previous years. The Officers’ recommendations are shown in Appendix A

attached to the report. A joint referencing system has been employed for both grants put forward to this Committee and for grant applications to the Welsh Church Fund; any gaps in the reference numbers will be due to those grants having been put forward to the Welsh Church Fund.

 

These applications are considered in accordance with the ‘Criteria for the Allocation of Grants from the Isle of Anglesey Charitable Trust’, a copy of which was attached as Appendix B to the report.
