Wisbech Town Council Small Grants

Grant applications for this year have now been allocated.

 

Deadline for applications for grants for 2014 -  31 December 2013

 

Who can apply?

 

Wisbech Town Council will consider applications from voluntary and charitable organisations which are non-profit making and operate with no undue restrictions on membership.  The headquarters of the organisation do not have to be within the parish, but it must demonstrate that its activities substantially benefit the local community of Wisbech.

 

Please note that Local Government Regulations do not permit the award of Wisbech Town Council discretionary grants to individuals. Applications can also not be considered from statutory or profit-making organisations.

 

What does the Town Council take into account when awarding grants?

 

Wisbech Town Council will look at the following issues when assessing requests: contribution to social, environmental, and economic wellbeing, community involvement and activities, social inclusion, any previous funding, purpose of the organisation and the assistance requested.

 

How do I apply?

 

To apply for a grant please complete the application form CLICK HERE

 

Please Note: Completed forms need to be returned to the Council offices before the end of December 2013.

 

What happens next?

 

Wisbech Town Council sets its annual budget in October. At this time the funding budget for the next financial year will be agreed. Members of the Finance & General Purposes Committee will evaluate applications and take recommendations for full Council approval in February. If you are successful, a cheque will be sent for the approved award at the start of the following financial year.
