Applications forms can be requested from the Town Council’s office or downloaded from its website.
The scheme provides start-up grants for new organisations as well as grants to organisations already operating.
Organisations thinking of applying must have clearly stated aims and objectives set out in writing; a written Constitution; be able to provide a copy of its latest annual accounts and most recent Bank statement and have a Bank account operated by a minimum of at least two joint signatories.
The organisation must provide, or propose to provide, an activity or service that will be of benefit to the Burntwood community or to a particular group of residents.
