Grants
Fremington
Parish Council recognises the importance of local voluntary, charitable and
community groups and the aim of providing grant funding is to assist these
community and voluntary groups with one-off costs, grants should be used
towards project costs rather than running costs (although running costs will be
considered if imperative to the group) and can be used as match-funding to
attract funding from other external sources.
The
Parish Council will budget a total figure of £3,000 a year (the figure will be
reviewed annually) for grant aid. There will be two funding streams which
groups can apply to, the Parish Councillor Grant and the Central Fund.
Each Parish Councillor will be allocated £150 to fund project led grant
applications. The remainder of the agreed budget will be placed into a
Central Fund which groups can apply to for additional funds or larger
grants.
Applications
to the Parish Councillor Grant Fund will open in March 2025 for the forthcoming
financial year, no grant payment will be made before April 2025. Before
applying for a Parish Councillor Grant you must speak to a Parish Councillor to
gain support for your application, an application cannot be progressed without
support. You can ask for support from more than one Parish Councillor,
however, an individual Councillor cannot support the same group two years in a
row.
Applications to the Central Fund should be submitted to the Parish Council by the 15th January 2026, the Finance and Personnel Committee will consider the allocation of the Central Fund at its January meeting and funds paid in February 2026.
