Who can apply?

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.
