Dear Mr Martin,

UK Chair 
In your email of 21st August 2009, you requested information, 
Sir Clive Booth  
under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (‘FOIA’), regarding two 
 
grants awarded to Thornbury FM under the Awards for All 
UK Chief Executive 
Peter Wanless CB 
programme.  
 
 
 
We are committed to bringing real 
You requested the application forms and end of grant reports for 
improvements to communities and  
the following grants:  
to the lives of people most in need 
 
 
−  £4,326 awarded on 06/10/2005; and  
−  £5,674 awarded on 23/01/2007.  
 
 
 
The files for the above grants are held offsite with a third party 
storage provider. We are sorry to inform you that we have been 
unable to locate the file for the grant awarded in 2005. We will, 
therefore, be unable to provide you with the application form and 
end of grant report in relation to the 2005 grant. We realise that 
this may be disappointing for you, but it is likely that we hold other 
records about the group on our grant-making database, covering 
the assessment and grant monitoring. If you would like to request 
these records then please contact me directly. 
 
We have retrieved information for the grant awarded in 2007. The 
application form and end of grant report for the 2007 grant are 
attached. No FOIA exemptions have been applied. Personal 
details such as home addresses and dates of birth have been 
concealed, as we did not consider these relevant to your request.

Had they been specifically requested it is likely they would be 
exempt under section 40 of the FoIA relating to Data Protection. 
 
You also requested guidance notes for the application and end of 
grant reporting processes. These are attached with no FOIA 
exemptions having been applied.  
 
If you have any further queries regarding the FOIA please contact 
myself at the address below. Your reference is: E/165/2108/4. It 
would be helpful if you could quote this reference in any future 
correspondence.   
 
If you are unhappy with the level of service you have received in 
relation to your request, you may ask for an internal review.  If this 
is the case, contact me and I will arrange for the decision to be 
reviewed. 
 
If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you 
have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for 
a decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: 
 
Information Commissioner’s Office
