Small Grants Scheme
Many community groups and organisations have benefited from the Small Grants Scheme, including welfare and senior citizen groups, performing arts groups, youth organisations, sports teams, and other recreation groups.
Funding priorities
No funding priorities are given, but applicants need to show how their project would contribute to the Council's corporate priorities. Funding is available each year on a one-off basis.
Grant Levels
Awards made are usually around £500.
Timetable
Although applications will be considered throughout the year subject to available resources, each year applications are formally invited in December for return by the end of January. The Cabinet then considers applications in March and applicants can expect to hear a decision in April. Due to limited resources, an early application is recommended in order to avoid disappointment.
Applications are not accepted from individuals, or from national organisations (unless the organisation has a local branch within the Vale).
The Council's corporate priorities include:
Lifelong Learning: Promotion of the culture of lifelong learning for all
Community Leadership: Promotion of a sense of community pride and active citizenship.
Economic Regeneration: Promotion of a diversified and sustainable economy
The Environment: Promotion of the use of sustainable practices
Community Well Being: Promotion of a safe and healthy community in which to live
