COMMUNITY GRANTS
Oxenhope Village Council is aware that many organisations in the village are facing financial difficulties as a result of the Coronavirus. The Village Council has agreed a Community Small Grant Scheme to provide some assistance to local organisations. The amount of funding is limited and is subject to the following criteria:
- Organisations must be charitable, sporting, educational or for community benefit. They must be based in, or offer benefit to, Oxenhope residents.
- Organisations must have a constitution and a bank account.
- Grants will normally be up to £500, but in exceptional circumstances and subject to funding being available, additional grant awards may be considered.
- Applications must be submitted using the attached application form and emailed or posted to the Village Council Clerk to arrive by 28th February 2021.
- Decisions on the award of grants will be taken at the Village Council meeting on 10th March 2021. The decision of Councillors is final.
- Agreed grants will be paid into the recipient’s bank account in early April 2021.
- Successful applicants will be required to provide a short report by September 2021 on how the grant was used.
