FUNDING FOR COMMUNITY PROJECTS
A special funding initiative has been set up to help community projects - and voluntary and community groups across Dover District are being invited to apply for grants.
Dover District Council and Kent County Council have allocated funding to the Dover District Neighbourhood Forums. Community and voluntary groups can apply for grants of up to £5,000 for capital projects, which need to show benefit to the community. Successful projects last year included new equipment, small building works, notice boards and landscaping.
Kent County Council is administering this Small Community Capital Projects fund and application packs are now available. The application process is straightforward and advice and assistance is available, please see contact details below. Packs can also be downloaded from
www.dover.gov.uk/neighbourhoodforums/funding.asp
The closing date for applications is 29 August 2008.
For more information about Small Community Capital Project funding, please contact Will Farmer, KCC Community Liaison Manager, on 01622 696911.
