Community Grants
Every year the Town Council provides some funding for community projects in the town. The Council has adopted a set of agreed criteria which successful applicants must meet and aims to support sustainable local projects that improve the quality of life for local people.
Applications are considered at meetings of the Policy Finance & Resources Committee. (See Sandy Diary for meeting dates.) Applications need to be received by the Council two weeks prior to the meeting date so as to allow them to be added to the agenda.
Applications Forms and Grant Criteria can be downloaded here.
