Decision Making

GrantScape will ensure that all applications received are assessed fairly and transparently, and will follow an agreed and structured process as follows:

All applications received are firstly assessed by a GrantScape Grant Officer. We will check that your application meets the criteria. If it doesn’t we will contact you to discuss the reason we believe it is not eligible. Depending upon the outcome of this discussion, we may advise you that your application can go no further.
All eligible applications are then presented to our Advisory Group (AG) that has been established to help decide how the grants from the Fund will be allocated.

The AG currently consists of the following individuals:

Cllr Mansel Powel – Rhymney Community Council
Cllr Alyson Tippings – Tredegar Town Council
Cllr Mark Turner – Tredegar Town Council
Cllr Carl Cuss – Caerphilly County Borough Council from Twyn Carno Ward
Cllr John Morgan – Blanenau Gwent Borough Councillor for Georgetown
Mr Paul Maddy – Resident from Tredegar Town Community

Please do not contact any of the AG to discuss your application as all enquiries and questions should be directed through GrantScape.

GrantScape will operate a strict declaration of interests and conflicts procedure at AG meetings.

The recommendations from the AG are then presented to GrantScape’s Board of Trustees to make final decisions on which applications will receive grants.

GrantScape will confirm by email the final decision on your application. This will be around the ‘Decisions Dates’ published on our website.
