Information

The Parish Council’s budget is limited however there are circumstances when the Council on application can award grants to organisations and individuals* where the applicant can clearly demonstrate how a grant or subsidy will be of benefit to the local community within the Parish.

*Individuals may apply for grants if submitted by an organisation to which they belong.  The organisation is responsible for ensuring the grant is used for the purpose for which it is granted.

The application process is not onerous, the application form and ‘Grant Conditions’ are attached.
