The Mayor of Seaford, Cllr Rodney Reed, commented: ‘the grant appraisal process and what we learn about the applicants and their work for our town is an encouragement to the Councillors who form the grants panel. There are very many praise-worthy things being done in Seaford by our voluntary sector. We hope that the interest we take in the work of the applicants is as useful as the money that is awarded. My thanks to all the organisations who applied for grants of the dedication and hard work which has had such a positive impact in the community of Seaford. Whether successful or not in being awarded a grant, on behalf of the Council, I commend them all for their commitment and hard work.’
The next grants process will commence in April 2022, when application forms will be available to download from the Town Council’s website. If you would like more information then please email Lucy Clark, Finance Manager, at: lucy.clark@seafordtowncouncil.gov.uk.
