The Council sets a grants budget each year to fund applications from voluntary and charitable bodies which provide services or facilities for local people.  The budget has been set at £100  In order to comply with the budget and allow as many groups as possible to benefit from a grant, members have agreed that:

• They will focus their grant distribution on local groups and will not support larger, regional and national bodies.

• From July 2015 grants will be limited to £200.

• Applications will only be considered from properly constituted groups.

The Grants Policy October 2018 sets out how the Council will allocate within this framework.  

If you think your organisation meets the criteria set out in the policy please complete and return an application Form to The Sambrook Centre; applications will be considered by the Community and Environment Committee. 

Successful organisations will be asked to complete a Grant Evaluation Form
