Grant applications have opened for local, voluntary and charitable organisations that provide a service which benefits the city of Ely.
The City of Ely Council has a small budget which is allocated to grants each year for those in Ely and the villages of Prickwillow, Stuntney, Chettisham, Queen Adelaide and Shippea Hill.
The council is not encouraging applications that will be purely for supporting the organisation’s running costs.
A spokesperson for the City of Ely Council said: “Please note that Local Government Regulations do not permit the award of grants to individuals.
“Grants will not be awarded to cover staff salaries.”
If you feel your organisation qualifies for a grant the application form can be downloaded from the Council’s website; www.cityofelycouncil.org.uk under the grants section.
There are full details on the criteria and the council’s grants policy.
The closing date for applications is 10am on September 28.
