Jubilee Grants
The Council has approved a total of £3,000 in grants to community organisations holding events to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne.
The demand for the grant exceeded the budget, so the Council has reduced some of the grants. In an effort to be fair, it awarded the full £300 to the groups which fully complied with the grant scheme's criteria, and £150 to those which only partially met the criteria. There was just one group which did not fulfill the criteria at all, but they will be advised that they could apply for a general grant for the same purpose later in the year.
Please see the News Page to find out if your group was successful. The funding will be issued in April, in the financial year to which it relates, but groups are able to make purchases and arrangements straight away now the decisions have been taken.
