Grants
We would like to encourage local residents to contact us if they feel they can identify a person, organisation or project that would benefit from our support. It can either be a project that would benefit the local area or an organisation that is involved in work that would be of benefit to residents in the local area.  We are particularly interested in the idea of supporting an apprentice who lives in the local area.  See the Grant Application Form for details.

All applications must give proper detail of the intended use of the grant money and what the ultimate benefit/outcome will, or is expected to, be.
