Community Grant fund.
I am writing to you regarding the Harborough District Community Grant.
Shearsby parish will have the opportunity to apply for up to £5000 of a total share of a £40,000 allocation for smaller villages in the Community Grant fund. There will be 32,538.00 of this fund remaining if all current projects are agreed at the Cabinet Sub-Committee Grants meeting on 18th March.
We may have already discussed your plans, and you may have a good idea of what you want to apply for/wish to support. We are just reaching out with some handy links and dates and to offer our support to help you if you wish to make an application or support a project.
Round three is opening to applications on 25th March until 19th May.
We have two grants surgeries coming up where we will be available in person to answer any questions…
- Lutterworth - Churchgate Community Centre - Thursday 3rd April 1-4pm
- Market Harborough – Council Chambers - Friday 4th April 9:30-12:30
Here is the link for booking an appointment https://forms.office.com/e/WkCuE65EgW Please forward this information to any groups in your area who may be interested/wish to apply.
