Joint Press Release by Kent County Council and Dover
District Council
Funding For Community Projects
Important funding news has been announced for local community
groups looking for help with projects for the future of the
district – with an announcement that groups can apply for grants of
up to £5,000 from the Dover District Neighbourhood Forums.
Dover District Council and Kent County Council have allocated
funding to the Dover District Neighbourhood Forums to give out
grants to local projects. Local voluntary and community
organisations are invited to apply for grants for capital projects,
which need to show benefit to the community. Successful projects
last year included new equipment, small building works, stage and
security lighting, among others.
Kent County Council is administering this Small Community
Capital Projects fund and application packs are available from KCC
Community Liaison Managers Emma Carey or Anne Charman (Sandwich
Area only), or can be downloaded from the Neighhourhood Forum pages on DDC’s website.
Councils are keen to encourage applications from voluntary and
community groups that have not applied to the Neighbourhood Forums
before. The application process is straightforward and advice
and assistance is available from Kent County Council.
The closing date for applications is the 30 September
2009.
For more information about the Small Community Capital Projects
fund, please contact: Emma Carey, KCC Community Liaison Manager on
01622 694599 or Anne Charman, KCC Community Liaison Manager
(Sandwich Area only) on 01622 696389.
