Community groups are being urged to
tap into a fund designed to support the delivery of local
projects.
Schemes that will help deliver the targets in
Richmondshire Local Strategic Partnership’s Community Strategy are
eligible to apply for grant aid.
North Yorkshire County Council has established
a funding pot to help Local Strategic Partnerships support
community groups - in particular voluntary and community sector
organisations. There is £50,000 available for
Richmondshire this year.
The projects need to feed into the
