Winchcombe Town Council Community Grant Scheme
Awards are available to support community events designed to build pride in place, community engagement and social activity. Charities, organisations and groups that benefit the residents of Winchcombe may be supported by the Council through funding and resources subject to certain qualifying criteria.
Any organisation wishing to apply for support must be a registered charity providing a benefit to the residents of Winchcombe or a non-profit making local organisation based in Winchcombe or, if neither of these, may be considered if providing a community service or one-off charity event. Where support is requested for an individual event, it must be taking place within the town and be for Winchcombe residents.
The Council welcomes applications for grants from charities and organisations large and small, and Councillors or the Clerk are happy to talk to anyone interested in making an application if you feel you need some advice or help beforehand.
