Great Aycliffe Town Council is launching a small grants fund aimed at helping organisations within the Great Aycliffe area under two key themes:

• Those organisations that are experiencing funding problems, affecting their organisation in delivering their support services as a consequence of the Coronavirus pandemic and restrictions.

• Organisations that are looking to support vulnerable residents that are struggling to cope during the Christmas period.

A total of £15,000 has been allocated for small grants, each grant being up to a maximum of £1,000.

Closing date for applications is Monday, 23rd November 2020, following which applications will be considered by the Council’s Policy and Resources Committee on the 2nd December 2020.

Application forms are available from the Council Offices, by telephoning 01325 300700 or are available to download from the Council’s Website: great-aycliffe.gov.uk
