Wymondham Town Council Grants Scheme What is the grant scheme?

Wymondham Town Council recognises the immense value of voluntary and community activity and its contribution to residents’ wellbeing. The Council is committed to assisting voluntary and not-for-profit organisations working for the benefit of Wymondham residents and/or to deliver projects that will make a difference to the people living in Wymondham.

The Council will allocate, each year during the budgeting process, an amount for the Community Grant Scheme for the next financial year.  This scheme is used to promote a vibrant and active community in Wymondham to help voluntary bodies and local organisations in the town if the project will enhance the lives of the residents of Wymondham.  It is therefore a requirement that all questions on the application form are answered as fully as possible and that the application includes any information and documents requested by the Council.

It is recommended that applicants thoroughly read the council’s grants policy before making an application and where necessary contact the Town Clerk for advice on your application.

The council will not fund salaries, hospitality, religious organisations (except for non-religious activities), core school expenditure or projects with party political links.

 OUR FUNDING OBJECTIVES

We look for projects to meet at least one of the following outcomes:

• Provide improved opportunities or services for those aged 18 or under
• Provide improved opportunities or services for those aged 65 or over
• Enhance the profile and/or reputation of Wymondham Town Council

 The council will score applications using information from the application form based on achieving outcomes, value for money, strong governance and fitting with the council’s strategic aims. More information is provided in our grants policy.
