Item 5 - Leadership in the Third Sector: Update on London Councils workplan (GTS18/7)
Summary
At its meeting of 23 November 2016, members of the Grants Committee approved the proposal that officers work with City Bridge Trust to take forward the work on the implementation of the review into infrastructure support in London (undertaken by London Funders), The Way Ahead - Civil Society at the Heart of London.
City Bridge Trust sought the involvement of London Councils, on behalf of the boroughs, to work in strategic partnership to implement the report’s findings, including providing leadership in the third sector and influencing the spend of a central pool of funding from independent funders.
A detailed workplan was agreed by Grants Committee in November 2016 and officer time has been dedicated to undertaking this work. This paper provides an update on the work done to-date.
