Community Grants
 

The Town Council has reviewed and reconfirmed its policy of supporting community organisations in Eastwood that provide clear benefit to Eastwood people.   In the main, this takes the form of giving grants to organisations that can demonstrate how their activities benefit others in Eastwood. 

In past years, the Town Council has given grants to the Citizens Advice Bureau, Age Concern, sports club, arts and music groups and in special cases to individuals who are engaged on a project on their own which gives indirect benefit to others.

Budgetary provision is already in place for the current year for these grants and a new application form is available to organisations who would like support in meeting the cost of their activities.  

Successful organisations are invited to a council meeting in the autumn where they are presented with the grant cheque and publicly applauded for their work.

Any organisation in Eastwood can apply and the application forms are now available from the Town Council Office.

The Town Council gives grants each year to organisations in Eastwood who provide different forms of benefit to the Community. Applications for Grants are determined in relation to the amount of benefit the particular activity gives to the community. The Town Mayor presents grant cheques during a Council meeting in October.

Limited grants are also given to individual residents who are carrying out work which is useful and brings positive benefits to others or for work, which will develop their own careers and interests.
