Council grants you a wish this Christmas!
Community and voluntary groups in Rugby could make their wishes come true in 2010, if they apply now for funding available from Warwickshire County Council.
In keeping with the Christmas spirit of giving, the county council has opened for applications its Medium Grants Scheme from the Rugby Area Community Fund.
Community or voluntary organisations are invited to submit applications for up to £7,500 from the fund for small scale community-led projects that provide new opportunities for local people. The closing date for applications is Friday 22 January 2010.
Projects that help people who have experienced disadvantage or exclusion from mainstream activities will be looked on particularly favourably by the Rugby Area Committee, who will decide which groups receive the grants when they meet in March next year.
Projects could include setting up a new group, increasing the size of an existing group, or running a new project or service. The grants must be spent within 12 months of their award.
Application packs and more information are available from the Rugby Area Partnership Team on 01788 533656 or email rugby@warwickshire.gov.uk. You can also download an application pack from the website http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/rugbyarea.
