A report was considered which stated that the current process of the grants function was being reviewed. The grants were for projects withing the unparished area of High Wycombe, with an annual budget of £10,000 for the voluntary and community sector and another £10,000 for the provision of grants to facilities which had community use as their primary purpose.

The report also highlighted the proposed changes which had been identified following internal consultation with those involved in the process of awarding grants.  

In considering the report a number of questions arose, and an amendment which was suggested as a change to the process was to request all applicants making a claim to be required to possess an equal opportunities policy within their terms of reference or within their organisations framework, and to abide by it. This change was agreed by Members as a whole.

RESOLVED: That the report be noted and the proposed changes be agreed, subject to the inclusion of a requirement for applicants to have an equal opportunities policy  in place
