Renate presented the report and budget and highlighted an underspend of £ 8,997. Partners were asked to consider 2 project proposals:

1. BEMCCF – £ 1,200 for facilitating 6 Capacity Builders Meetings

2. Aston Mansfield - £ 500 towards cost of printing
   Partners agreed to this. Caroline will ask Kevin to include other cost items in addition to printing and to include publishing information on ChangeUp website.
