One of the items at North Area Committee last night was to award City Council grants to community groups.Every year the City Council gives just under £60,000 to the four area committees to allocate, and the North gets a share of just over £21,000. These grants are used by differnt groups in different ways to support community projects.
Last night we agreed to fund two groups active in the Arbury and King's Hedges areas: Groverbury Ladies Club and the Abury Manor branch of the Royal British Legion. The total to them was just over £1000.
These grants are for special events, but we also give grants to cover start up and other one off costs.
There is still about £9000 in the kitty for this year, so if your group could use a grant to help community activities then check the application guidelines, and the general information page.
If you have an idea and need help to get going then contact a member of the team.
