Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

At a meeting as Trustees, of the City of Bradford MDC’s Regulatory and Appeals Committee, on 05.09.2024, the trustees considered The Bradford District Charity for Visually Impaired People Equipment Grants. The Strategic Director of Adult Social Care and Health submitted a report to the meeting which sought approval from the Trustees to withdraw from the Bradford District for Visually Impaired People Fund and ensure City of Bradford MDC was abiding by its duty as Trustees. The proposal was already approved by the Adult Social Care SMT and DMT. The trustees resolved: (1) that the option to withdraw £70,000 from the Bradford District Charity for Visually Impaired People fund for development of an equipment grants scheme for visually impaired people, be approved. Of this money, £60,000 was to be awarded as grants and £10,000 was to be contracted to Equality Together to provide the grants administration. (2) at Adult Social Care SMT (20 June 2024) and DMT (24 July 2024) it was agreed that this option was a suitable use of funds. However, as City of Bradford MDC are trustees for this fund, agreement was also needed from the committee. The recommendation was therefore that the committee support the agreement at SMT/ DMT and allow withdrawal from the Bradford District Charity for Visually Impaired People fund. (3) that the Strategic Director of Adult Social Care and Health present a progress report at a future meeting of Regulatory and Appeals Committee (sitting as Trustees).
