Applications are encouraged that meet a clearly identified local
need in areas such as Arts, Play and Play Areas, Sports and
Recreation, Youth Initiatives, Group development and start up,
Community activities and initiatives and Wildlife and
Countryside.
Grants are available for up to 50% of the project cost up to a
value of £12,500.
Community Development Officer grants are available on the same
structure but up to £750 or 50% of the project cost.
Our available funds cannot always stretch as far as we would
like - but we may still be able to help you identify sources
of funding or help with project planning.
Please contact us to
request a Grant Application Pack.
If you need help completing the application please contact Paul
Philpott, Community Development Officer on 01460 260359 or e-mail
