Grant Applications Invited
Each year, Wivelsfield Parish Council gives a small number of grants to local (Wivelsfield-based) groups and organisations, to support their activities. Our grants budget is relatively modest, so the Parish Council is keen to offer grants to support activities/initiatives which specifically benefit local people and which groups may otherwise be unable to offer.
If you belong to a group which serves local people and may benefit from a small grant, please click on the Grants Policy below, which gives further details, includes an application form and indicates the supporting information that needs to be provided.
The deadline for applications is Friday 23rd February 2023.
Applications will be considered at our Parish Council meeting on 4th March, for payment in the new (2024-25) financial year.
