THE organisers of communty projects in Harlow are being given the chance to apply for grants of up to £4,000 from Essex County Council.
The council’s West Essex Area Forum has been allocated £50,000 to support schemes that have not already received cash from County Hall.
County councillor Guy Mitchinson, who represents the Harlow West division, said the maximum individual allocation will be around £4,000.
To qualify for a grant, the projects must improve people’s lives and have the support of the local community. Matched funding is desirable but not essential.
An application form can be obtained by calling Yvette Wetton on (01206) 436079 or email yvette.wetton@essex.gov.uk. The closing date for applications is October 5.
“To my continuing annoyance Harlow has lagged behind neighbouring areas like Epping, Brentwood and Uttlesford in securing grants under schemes such as this,” said Mr Mitchinson.
"So please, if you think you may meet the criteria contact Yvette Wetton today. Remember, nothing ventured, nothing gained.”
