Council grants - last chance for organisations to apply

Voluntary and community organisations in the Royal Borough are reminded that there is only one week left to apply for funding from the council's grants scheme - the closing date for applications is Friday 25 November.

The scheme is open to non profit-making voluntary organisations seeking help with running costs, equipment, transport, administration, premises hire, building projects, one-off events, staffing costs and training.

Applications are considered in the following categories:
• revenue grants - to help an organisation's annual running expenses
• capital grants - made towards schemes such as the purchase of land or equipment or extensions to buildings
• Kidwells Park Trust grants - to provide facilities for recreation and cultural activity.

Cllr Richard Kellaway, chairman of the grants forum, said: "The council recognises the vital contribution made to our community by the many voluntary organisations across the borough. A great many people work tirelessly and enthusiastically to make our borough a better place for everyone, and we are delighted to be able to support their efforts in this way.

"We are committed to providing and maintaining strong partnerships with all these groups and our annual grants scheme is a practical way of helping those organisations continue with their valuable work."

Application forms are available from Democratic Services, The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, Town Hall, St Ives Road, Maidenhead, Berks SL6 1RF, by email to democratic.services@rbwm.gov.uk or by telephoning 01628 796310.
