Radstock Town Council is pleased to launch its annual Community Grant Fund. Grants of up to £1,000 are available to support charitable or voluntary organisations operating within the Radstock Town Council area.

Priority will be given to those who benefit people who are disadvantaged or isolated, possibly due to poverty, disability, age, location or culture. Priority will also be given to groups that increase the capacity of local communities and improve the quality of life of people that live or work in Radstock.

Applicants are asked to demonstrate how the local community has been involved in their project, show how it meets local need and evidence that it has local support.

Mayor, Councillor Rupert Bevan, said: “These grants help us to meet one of the aims of our strategy, which is to be a pro-active supporter of the community and community-led services. The Council recognises the value of supporting those who contribute to the community.”

The closing date is Thursday, 28th February, and applications received after this date cannot be considered. In previous years, the Council has made grants to a variety of organisations and groups.
