Council Reports Resources, Policy & Strategy Committee Did you know that Myland Community Council provides small grants? Each financial year, we make a portion of our budget available as a useful source of funding. Over the years, the council has provided many grants to local groups, charities and organisations. Our grants have supported projects such as Together We Grow CIC, a social enterprise improving the lives of communities and individuals through encouraging engagement with nature. We have helped to fund a Lego club and some outdoor play equipment for local primary schools. Other recent beneficiaries of our grants include: Colchester Countryside Volunteer Rangers, Cuckoo Farm Studios and the Well Methodist Church. Grants tend to range between £500 to £1,000. If you are interested in applying to the council for a grant, please request an application pack by emailing: clerk@mylandcommunitycouncil.gov.uk The application form is short and easy to fill out. Grants will not be awarded to individuals; therefore, you will need to provide bank account details for your organisation or charity on the application form. The council must satisfy itself that the grant will benefit the area and a significant number of residents. Ideally, there should be clear evidence of local need or demand for the proposed project or activity. We enjoy receiving photographs of the projects once they have been funded. It is lovely to see the difference that grant funding can make. Cllr Clare Williams Chair of Resources, Policy & Strategy Committee 13
