1. Budget
The current budget is held by London Wildlife Trust, and managed
by William Moreno. William provided a breakdown of budget
to date. It was noted that a format showing real, allocated
and projected budget over the 3 year period of the Esmee Fairburn
grant would be an improvement on reporting to the management
working group. Tim offered to give some Will some one-off
support on financial reporting. LWT transferring to new financial
software which will also improve reporting.
Action: Will to provide new budget report
to the group. It was agreed that money forwarded to the project
last year when grant funding from EAF was to cease should
now be used to give specific support to Will. For example,
the action plan review due later this year.
2. Champions of Biodiversity
There was some debate over the aim of this project. The project
will target London's business sector, and encourage transnationals
to promote regional biodiversity in addition to their global
environmental responsibilities. It was agreed that the project
must link to the emerging LBP funding strategy.
Points raised:
• management
of this project could be via the funding group depending on
how that group develops · project specification required
· need to market the 'hook' that relates to topical
sustainability and environmental issues, company ethics, London
pride……. - why would a business sign up? ·
• trial it with
companies that we already know · potentially 2 different
levels of outcome of the project
• sponsorship
• corporate champions
who develop a further relationship with LBP and different
LBP partners
Action: Pete will put together draft introductory
'package' that will indicate the different levels of involvement
with action plans and LBP
3. AOB
• HLF funding
for LBAP officers in south London group of boroughs? Jenny
to ask Alister Hayes for further info.
• Potential seminar
London Boroughs chief executives; Jeremy reported that GOLs
budget received from DEFRAs sustainable development budget
may no longer be able to fund a biodiversity seminar as GOL
outcomes have now changed. ·
• Jeremy leaving
sustainable development section of GOL. A replacement officer
is likely to continue to represent GOL at the management working
group. ·
• ALG representation
on this working group; there had been no reply to original
letter of invitation Jenny to contact Chris Lee at ALG again.
4. Date of next meeting
date of next meeting to be confirmed - likely to be early
