Regional Grant to Groups
The Region is excited to be able to reintroduce Grants to Groups.
These are separate from the National Grants to Groups which can be applied for directly from National Office.
We are lucky to have three funds to draw from in the East Region all of which can be applied to using the same East Region Grant Application Form. Each has an accompanying overview explaining how much is available this year, any restrictions on its use and a timeline for applications as well as a guide to how to fill it in.
All grants for the region have to be budgeted for and we plan to be able to give out more grants next year. Please apply now as we need to be able to justify increases in future budgets. Grants cannot be retrospective so please plan ahead. Don't worry about applying to the wrong fund - we will make sure applications are to the most relevant one.
If you have any questions then please contact one of the regional team.
