Town council seeks community grant applications


Llangollen Town Council is seeking applications for its latest round of Community Grants.

The scheme, which the council runs in conjunction with Cittaslow Llangollen, aim to reward the
skills, experience and expertise of the local voluntary and community sector and the help they give to the council in achieving its aims and priorities for residents.

A single organisation can receive funding up to £250 whilst partnership and joint applications could be supported to a maximum of £1,000.

A council spoksperson nsaid: "It has been proven over the years that small cash grants can really make a big difference in helping communities get schemes and projects started."

Completed applications should be returned by January 30.

The council says that if the planning group confirms the eligibility of an application under this year’s Participatory Budgeting scheme it will go forward to the next round. 

This is a voting event which is to be held on Monday, February 24 at 6.30pm in the Town Hall.

A preference voting system will be used where voters assign an arbitrary number to each project based on how much they like the project. 

The votes are then added up and the projects put in rank order depending on the total number of aggregate votes. Projects are then allocated funding in rank order until the funding runs out.


Applicants will be invited on the evening to give a presentation up to a maximum of three minutes in length to present for their project.
