CREDITON Town Council budgets a sum of money every financial year for grants to local voluntary or charitable organisations where the activities will contribute to, and be of benefit to, the life or community and benefit the people of Crediton.

These grants are made to organisations that can demonstrate a need for assistance.

A total figure for available grant aid will be agreed by the council as part of the budget for each financial year.

The grant may be in the form of either a financial grant, or in certain approved cases, the provision of work carried out by the council’s own staff and/or use of council premises.

Applications will normally be considered by the council during November and successful applicants will be notified by December 31.?All grants will be paid in April/May of the following year, normally at the Mayor’s Reception.

To see the full conditions which apply to any grant, and to download a grant aid application form, visit the Crediton Town Council website: www.crediton.gov.uk .

The forms are also available from the Town Council offices at Market Street, Crediton.
