The Grant Process

In accordance with section 109 of the Gambling Act 2003, the Net Proceeds

Committee has conducted an annual review of the criteria, methods, systems and

policies it uses for consideration of the applications for the distribution of net

proceeds. The results of this review are:

The objectives of the Trust remain unchanged, which is to maximise the proceeds

that are applied to Authorised Purposes. The criteria, methods, systems and policies

are working well and therefore have remained largely unchanged. The only

significant change was to the grant application criteria, which was extended to reflect

the widened authorised purpose.

The Trustees and management continue to maximise the proceeds available through

minimising costs and implementing efficiencies as well as ensuring full compliance

with all gaming regulatory requirements.
