The City Bridge Trust embarks on review

The Trust's main grants programme has now closed for new applications

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 2007, 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 on 15 July 2008, and to undertake the process of the review.

The small grants programnme, 'Improving Services for Older People', is unaffected by this decision and will carry on its business as normal, within its existing two year timescale. The deadline for the receipt of new applications to this programme is midday on 1 October 2008. Applications received after the deadline will not be considered.
