If you are an aspiring sporting star or artiste of the future,
up to 18 years old and live within the Harrogate
district we invite you to apply for a Centenary
Grant. It will next open in January 2011.
This project was set up to celebrate the Council's centenary
in 1984 and since then over 500 talented young people have
benefited from the fund.
The Council is seeking nominations from sporting or artistic
young people who resident in the Harrogate district

received grants have gone on to national level.

and dinghy racing. All eligible young residents are urged to
