If you are part of an organisation that is either a charity or a not-for-profit community group – that has a bank account and serves the residents of Puriton and/or Woolavington – then you may be able to apply for a Big Local Community Grant of up to £500 to help support a project, event, or activity.
To be eligible, your organisation must meet in Puriton or Woolavington and have participants from either village.
If your project involves children and/or vulnerable adults, the necessary Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) certificates and safeguarding must also be in place.
Please note: Big Local funding cannot be granted retrospectively. Villages Together cannot fund projects already started, work procured or undertaken, or items already purchased. If an application is successful, the Big Local grant must be spent within 6 months of the funding being handed over.
If you would like some help or advice about potential projects or if you would like to discuss applying for Villages Together funding, please contact Jon Cousins, our Community Project Lead: 07740 410232, Jon@shal.org
