City Bridge Trust Survey and end of Main Grants Programme

The City Bridge Trust embarks on review

The Trust's existing main grants programmes will close for new
applications on Monday 1st October 2007.

Every five years, the Trust undertakes a major review of its
grant-making policies and procedures. The existing grants criteria
have been in place since 2002 and it is now time to take a fresh look
at how the Trust does business.

At its meeting on 10 July, the Grants Committee therefore agreed that
the existing main grants programmes should close on 1 October 2007.
This will allow the grants team the opportunity to process all the
applications received by that date, in advance of the launch of new
programmes in Spring 2008, and to undertake the process of the review.

As part of the review, we are undertaking a major consultation
exercise to gather views on where we should focus our attention over
the next five years. To complete our online consultation questionnaire
go to

The only exception to the closure is for organisations seeking
continuation funding to existing one or two year grants which are due
to expire after 1 October. In these cases, you should contact your
grants officer before putting together an application.

The small grants 'Improving Services for Older People' programme is
unaffected by this decision and will carry on its business as normal,
within its existing two year timescale.
