Wealden Community Grants Programme launches
Publish Date: 9 October 2024
Wealden Community Grants Programme has launched to fund services and activities supporting residents living in the district.
Organisations and community groups across the Wealden district are being invited to apply for grants, which have been made available through Wealden District Council’s budget and supports the priorities within the new Wealden District Council Strategy.
The council is asking not-for-profit organisations, such as charities, community and voluntary groups, community interest companies and more to apply.
Organisations will need 50% match funding, which can include in-kind and/or cash match funding.
Councillor Kelvin Williams, Alliance for Wealden (Liberal Democrat) and lead councillor for Public Health, Wellbeing and Asset Management, said “Our communities are an important part of Wealden, and we must ensure that the vital services within them are nurtured.
“This grants programme will give charities, voluntary groups and not-for-profit organisations the funding required to continue to provide the necessary services and develop them. I would urge not-for-profit organisations to look further into this and apply.”
The programme launched today, Wednesday 9 October and the deadline for applications is Wednesday 4 December.
