Annually, the Parish Council set an earmarked budget which can be awarded to local groups and organisation to pursue opportunities and undertake projects which will benefit the wellbeing of the community. Also a separate budget is available to help an organisation or individual to develop an idea which will result in sustainability, biodiversity enhancement, or a carbon reduction across the parish.
If you have a project which meets the criteria set out in the policy below please complete the current Application Form and email it to the clerk . This will be presented to the council for consideration at the relevant meeting.
