Voluntary and Community Sector Grants 2009/10
Each financial year Winchester City Council awards capital and revenue grants to a wide range of voluntary sector organisations in the Winchester District. Decisions on grants are made prior to the start of each financial year and applications to two grant programmes are now being invited.
Cllr John Cooper, Portfolio Holder for Communities and Safety said, “Our grant schemes give the council an opportunity to help fund organisations that provide vital services out in our communities. We are very pleased to announce the latest round of grants and encourage all voluntary organisations to get in touch to see if we can help them.”
