To note the process for Charity Appointments that has been implemented.

The Committee received a report from the Group Head Corporate Governance regarding the review of the Charity Appointments Process. Following the call-in of a charity appointment to Council in February 2023, it was highlighted that there was no proper selection process to demonstrate suitability of appointments which allowed charities to put forward reasons for  nominations. The process now ensures the Charity as well as ward councillors are aware of the vacancies and nominations received in advance of the meeting.

The Committee endorsed the implemented process and noted that in future charities will be asked to demonstrate how they reached the decision for their nomination.

The Committee resolved to note the implemented process for charity appointments.
