Putting this new information just in on this Neighbourhood Forum thread, some good funding available there below, it will also act as a reminder about the Meeting on June 16 thats NEXT WEEK. These things creep up on you. I am aiming to be there all being well.

FUNDING FOR LOCAL COMMUNITY PROJECTS
Community groups looking for help with projects that can show benefit to the local community are invited to apply for capital grants of up to £2,500 from the Dover District Neighbourhood Forums.
Dover District Council and Kent County Council have again allocated funding to the Dover District Neighbourhood Forums to award grants to local projects. Successful projects last year included upgrading community facilities, replacing fencing, providing a tennis ball machine, a pony see-saw, security lighting and new public seating.
Kent County Council is administering this Small Community Capital Projects grant fund and application packs are available from KCC Community Engagement Managers Emma Carey or Anne Charman (Sandwich Area only), or can be downloaded from DDC's website at
www.dover.gov.uk/neighbourhoodforums
Councils are keen to encourage applications from local voluntary and community groups that have not applied to the Neighbourhood Forums before. The application process is straightforward and advice and assistance is available from Kent County Council. The closing date for applications is 9 September 2011.
