More than £68,500 is still available this year to assist community groups in the former coalfield areas of Kent - and local voluntary and community organisations are being invited to apply for grants.
Bridging the Gap is a Coalfields Regeneration Trust funding initiative administered in partnership with Dover District Council. It offers funding between £500 and £5,000 to local groups and organisations looking to expand, improve or offer new services to residents of the former coalfield areas of Kent. Bridging the Gap has previously funded a wide range of projects including refurbishment of community buildings, printing of village magazines, and equipment for sports clubs and leisure activities.
The application process is straightforward and fast with advice and assistance readily available. DDC is keen to hear from voluntary or community organisations or groups that could be helped with funding.
