The scheme is operated using BTAC’s Community Grants Policy with a scoring matrix based on the requirements of the Committee that it be consistent with BTAC’s terms of reference; easy to understand; flexible and inclusive; and include a ‘pre-assessment’ process for officers with only those applications scoring above a defined threshold to be considered by a Working Group of Members to make recommendations back to the Committee.
