Starbeck residents invited to apply for grants
11 SEPTEMBER 2007 - IT's that
time of year again, when residents in Starbeck are being invited to
apply for funding from the Starbeck Community Fund.
Groups and individuals from this thriving community are once
again invited to apply for money to fund new activities or projects
in the Starbeck ward.
The awards are made twice a year and the panel is looking for
ideas, which improve the social life on offer and which open up
events to more people.
Grants of up to £2,000 are available to groups and
societies and individual grants of up to £200 are available
for those seeking to pursue a special talent or project.
The closing date for the autumn round of grant applications is
12 October. Forms are available from Leilah
Vyner, Project Development Officer at Harrogate Borough Council on
01423 556702. ENDS
NOTE TO EDITORS: The
development of the former Octavius Atkinson site by Taylor Woodrow,
led to the provision of £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 a Starbeck Community Panel comprising three members of
the Starbeck Residents' Association and one Borough Councillor
makes awards twice a year.
