Foreshore Trust Combined Small & Events Grant Programme (responding to COVID 19 pandemic crisis) Round 3
Please note: The deadline has now passed and Round 3 is closed.
This grant call will primarily fund organisations to help our communities respond to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. This COVID focussed round will have a quicker turnaround to award grant funding to local organisations that are responding to the challenges within our community presented by the current health pandemic. Applications will also be considered from organisations which have been indirectly disadvantaged by the pandemic or which bring proposals to enhance social cohesion at the present time.
The main aim of this programme will be to support smaller voluntary and community groups in carrying out activities and services supporting the current demands and needs of local residents to provide relief and support. The fund also aims to help with capacity building of smaller voluntary and community groups to strengthen their ability to carry out their work. Grants of up to £6,000 will be awarded to voluntary and community groups providing support within Hastings & St. Leonards. To release the funding as quickly as possible the call will be open for less time than normal. Around £45,000 is available for this programme round.
The deadline for applications was 5pm on Monday 18th May 2020.
