You can now apply for a 2009/2010 Community Grant, but please note that:
The new grants programme will use the skills and experience of voluntary, community and Social Enterprises to assist the Council and partners in meeting the targets set out in the Local Area Agreement (LAA 2).
The LAA is an agreement between the Swindon Partnership Board and the Government which identifies 46 targets to be achieved by March 2011. A summary identifying the targets is attached as an appendix to this letter.
Organisations will be invited to put forward proposals that will assist in meeting one or more of the targets
It is proposed that any voluntary, community or social enterprise organisation can apply for a grant.
The funding will not be for the core costs of the organisation but will go towards the achievement of defined objectives. Whilst applying organisations will be able to claim for overheads, this will need to be proportionate to the scale and cost of the project.
