The Area Committee, acting in its capacity as trustee of the Brookfield Park Shiers Family Trust, has agreed to:-
· Note the contents of the report.
· Reaffirm its previous decision to allocate £50,000 from the Trust to support voluntary groups for children and young people, young carers, addressing loneliness amongst children and young people, and supporting sports groups for people of all ages.
· With regard to the investment policy, reaffirm that the dividends paid in the investment fund be re-invested in the fund two or three times a year, as appropriate.
· Investigate the possibility of someone working on the Trust’s behalf in a community capacity / community development role, on a part time basis, to be funded by the Trust and delegate authority to the Brookfield Park Shiers Family Trust sub-group to consider this further.
· Explore any linkages between the Trust and the Stockport Local Fund, particularly with regard to advertising and publicity, email circulation lists and workshops/roadshows.
