We are a Parish Council serving its community at a local level and we hope to benefit every local resident is some way.
Whilst it is a thriving Parish, it is necessary to work within its tight budget and to make best use of the finance available to it.
The Parish Council will meet during the year to discuss grant applications that have been received.
Each request for financial assistance will receive an application form (Editable word document or pdf to print and complete by hand). These will need to be completed and returned to the Clerk of the Council one full week before a Grants Meeting.
Should this deadline be missed, then the request will be held on file until the next meeting.
In exceptional circumstances the Parish Council reserves the right to consider a request mid-term.
Financial Assistance can only be made available under the statutes and powers in place that enable the Parish Council to donate in such a way. However the Parish Council has limited funds, under Section 137 of the Local Government Act 1972 to distribute to benefit the local community and electorate of the Parish.
Grants cannot be given to individuals. Cheques must be made payable to an organisation or group (and not to an individual). Grants must benefit a substantial proportion of the electorate of the Parish.
Further information can be obtained from the Parish Clerk, please email [email protected] or telephone 07813 788094.
