Penrith Town Council Update

GRANTS

Penrith Town Council has a grant scheme designed to support local community organisations, charities, Social Enterprises and Community Interest Companies to deliver services, projects and events within Penrith. We can consider one application per organisation in each financial year (1st April to 31st March). The Town Council will not consider applications from individuals and cannot fund salaries, hospitality, religious organisations (except for non-religious activities), core school expenditure or projects with party political links. You can find information on the Small Grants and Grow Nature Fund and the Large Grants Scheme up to £5,000 on our website at https:// www.penrithtowncouncil.gov.uk/council-finance/ grants/ Some examples of projects supported include: Winder Wonderland Penrith Penrith Arts Festival Town Centre Greening Penrith Lions Tea in Castle Park Penrith Cricket Club Eden Mencap Winter Droving 106 Partnership Fellrunner May Day
