The minutes of the meeting held on 19^th July 2021 were confirmed as an accurate record.

We resolved to exclude the press and public from the meeting during consideration of the following item of business in accordance with Section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972, as amended, on the grounds that it involved the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraphs 12 and 14 of Part 4 of Schedule 12A to the Act.

We considered six applications received against the Trust Fund, presented on behalf of the Chief Officer for Children and Young People.

The Trust resolved:

(i)      that awards be made to five of the applicants, as agreed, subject to appropriate receipts and evidence of attendance being received;

(ii)     that an interim award be made to one of the applicants, as agreed, subject to appropriate receipts and evidence of attendance being received. Also, that Monmouthshire County Council Finance officers seek clarity from the applicant regarding how the funding will be spent relative to the course being studied.

The total amount of funding awarded to students at the meeting equated to £4650.
