Faringdon Town Council Grants – How to apply 

Faringdon Town Council budgets a sum of money, each year, for disbursement of  grants to organisations and activities which contribute constructively to the quality of life in our town. These grants are limited therefore, can only be made available to organisations that can demonstrate a need for assistance within our parish boundary and, generally,  are not a statutory charge on other local or central government departments.

Faringdon Town Council acknowledges that new community organisation may experience difficulties obtaining funding from other sources, the Council will therefore give special consideration for grant aid to such groups.

To ensure that fair and proper consideration can be given to all requests, the council requires the following to be submitted to the Town Clerk by the deadlines explained  below:

  • A completed application form
  • The most recent set of accounts
  • A financial projection or budget for the period following the accounts
  • Any additional information the organisation considers would support their application

If the organisation is a new entity with no accounts available, please provide a business plan, stating the aims and objectives along with a financial projection for at least the current financial year.

Deadlines

Grants will be considered by the Grant Sub Committee. The deadline for first time applicants is 12 noon on the following dates:

  • 7th July
  • 20th October
  • 1st Dec
  • 5th April 

Applicants will be advised within 4 weeks of the above dates if their application has been successful or not.

 Annual and repeat grants should be considered as part of the precept setting process. The deadline for annual and repeat grant applicants is:

 12 noon on 30th September

Repeat and annual applicants will be advised within 4 weeks of the meeting of the Finance and Audit Committee, in the new financial year, if their application has been successful or not.

Thank you letters from Grant Awards

FollyFest

“Participants enjoy Follyfest hugely. The Town Council Association works well with all these groups.

If we did not receive the town council grant, we would not be able to put together a festival of the size and variety that we do. We would either look to change the venue, in order to provide for ticketed entry, or reduce the scope of the Festival.”

Rotary Club of Faringdon

“The Grant makes a difference to the level of Entertainment we can provide.

We all look forward to hopefully another successful Festive Faringdon in this coming Christmas period. Thank you “

 
Folly Tower Trust

“Dear Town Councillors,

This will be a big help in funding our activities, in particular the maintenance, upkeep and further development of the 4-acre Folly Woodland .

Many Thanks “

Duke of Edinburgh Award at FCC-Faringdon Academy of Schools  :

We will be holding a celebration awards evening on Wednesday 25th September during which the Bronze students will be presented their Bronze Award
