Starbeck Community Fund Grants
This grant scheme is for projects and individuals in the Starbeck Ward. Groups are invited to apply for up to £2,000 and individuals are invited to apply for up to £200. (This scheme is now closed until April 2010.)
Perhaps you have an idea for increasing access to voluntary
clubs or improving the quality of life for local people? Can you
see an opportunity to enhance the local area or does your group
need some new equipment? You might wish to apply for a
Starbeck Grant of up to £2,000 to support your idea.
Talented young people under 21 in Starbeck may also benefit from
up to £200 from the grant scheme. A recent example of a
successful applicant is a Guide going to a National World
Camp.
The fund derives from the development of the former Octavia Atkinson site by Taylor Woodrow, led to the provision of a £300,000 gift for the 'purpose of creation or improvement of recreation/ community facilities in Starbeck'. Part of the interest on the lump sum is paid into this grant scheme and awards are made twice a year by the Starbeck Community Panel comprising of three members of the Starbeck Residents Association and one Borough Councilor.
