£50k for good causes

Every year Wychavon gives away thousands of pounds to local voluntary groups and organisations for good causes throughout the district and it’s that time of year again to get applications in.

This year the theme is topically the Olympics, although applications for other areas will still be considered, with £50,000 up for grabs.

Tracy Grubb, Community Development Officer at Wychavon said “We always get lots of applications for funding for village halls, sporting activities, youth facilities, arts and play, but don’t be limited to that, be as imaginative as possible. Applications need to demonstrate community support or need, involve as many local people as possible, be sustainable for the long term and have other funding sources to meet the full costs of the project. We look forward to receiving applications in the New Year.”

The grants are launching early this year on 3 January with applications closing on noon on 30 March 2012.
