Applications for grant wards from the Community Grants Fund are required to be ‘sponsored’ by at least two Members of the Council in order to bring it to committee.  The applicant or one of the Members supporting the application is required to email the Town Clerk ([email protected]) with the details of the initiative/project, setting out:

  • The aim of the initiative/project;
  • Who it will benefit;
  • The sum being applied for and the purpose for which the grant will be used;
