Small Community Capital Projects
Dover District Council and Kent County Council have allocated funding to the Neighbourhood Forums for small community capital projects and an application form and guidance notes (MS Word) are now available. The maximum amount that can be applied for is £5,000 and the project must be capital purchases.
Kent County Council is administering the Small Community Capital Projects grant for the neighbourhood Forum. Please contact Will Farmer, KCC Community Liaison Manager, for advice on who can, and how to, apply for grant funding and to discuss any project you would like support for.
The closing date for applications is around the end of AUGUST each year.
The Neighbourhood Forums will recommend projects for grant funding at the quarterly meeting in October each year
