Town Council's grants scheme temporarily closed to new applications

Here is a statement about its Community Grants Scheme from Llangollen Town Council:

Llangollen Town Council is proud to highlight the continued success and value of its Community Grants Scheme, which plays a vital role in supporting local organisations and enhancing community life across the town. 

The scheme has provided meaningful assistance to a wide range of groups, enabling projects and activities that benefit residents and contribute to a vibrant, inclusive community. 

Llangollen Town Council appreciates the skills, experience and expertise which the voluntary and community sector holds and recognises the help that organisations can give to support the Council in achieving its aims and fulfilling its priorities for residents.

 

The Town Council offers Community Support Grants to fund projects and activities that are important to the local community. These awards must benefit members of the community in general and are limited to the geographic area of the Llangollen Town Council electoral boundaries. Examples of organisations supported include charitable organisations, community groups, sports clubs, art and music groups, advice services and business organisations.

 

Applications are normally received on an annual rolling programme within the allocated budget, with a maximum grant award of £2,000. The strong level of interest this year reflects both the importance of the scheme and the positive impact it has across Llangollen. However, due to the receipt of a significant number of high-value applications, Llangollen Town Council advises that the Community Grants Scheme is now temporarily closed to new applications. This will allow the Council to carefully consider all submissions currently within the system and ensure that funding is allocated fairly and effectively.

 

Should further monies become available later in the year, the Town Council may reopen the scheme for additional applications. Any updates will be communicated in due course.

 

The Council thanks all applicants and community organisations for their continued dedication to improving life in Llangollen and looks forward to continuing to support local initiatives in the future.
