Community Environmental Grant
We're excited to announce the launch of its first-ever Community Environmental Grant. This new initiative aims to support non-profit organisations and societies within the Helston boundary, encouraging projects that align with the Town Council’s Environmental Action Plan.
The grant, with a total budget of £10,000, seeks applications that focus on reducing carbon emissions, enhancing biodiversity, building community resilience, raising environmental awareness, or providing other environmental benefits to the community. Unlike the general grant funding, which covers a broader range of activities, this specific grant emphasises sustainability and environmental impact.
Eligible groups can apply for the grant by obtaining application forms through email or by calling the council office (01326 572063 or enquiries@helston-tc.gov.uk). The deadline for submissions is noon on Monday, June 10th, 2023. This is a fantastic opportunity for community groups to contribute to Helston's environmental goals and make a significant impact.
For more information and to apply, please refer to the PDF here of the grant form or contact the office directly for a word document version.
Don't miss out on this chance to make a difference in our community's environmental future!
