Local organisations can apply for a share of £156,500
as additional council grant funding goes live.
From today, Friday 20 April, businesses and community groups can apply for a grant towards initiatives which will encourage economic and business growth in Cheltenham. This is a second round of funding from the Promoting Cheltenham Fund, and the closing date for bids is 5pm on Friday 29 June 2012.
The money will be awarded to projects that have the support of their local community. Successful projects will stimulate economic and business growth in Cheltenham and increase the number of visitors, business investment, and help to raise the profile of the borough on a national or even international scale.
Single awards can reach up to £20,000 though larger bids for multiple events may be considered. This year, the funding has been opened out to help give local trading areas a boost.
Application forms and guidelines are available online and from the Municipal Offices. The closing date for applications is 5pm Friday 29 June and the final decision will be made by the council’s Cabinet on 17 July 2012. People can also contact Richard Gibson, strategy and engagement manager on 01242 235354 for more details.
