Royal Brewery fund – apply by 23 Jan 2015

12 Jan 2015 - 15:25 by michelle.foster

The Royal Brewery Fund’s priority is to encourage and support grass-root community activity. This means small, community-based and locally controlled groups that manage themselves, encourage active participation from volunteers, and have minimal cash reserves and limited access to funding support.

The fund does not support larger, more sophisticated organisations that have a track record of attracting funding, particularly when such groups have an income of more than £150,000 a year.

This has led the Executive to conclude that some of the options may no longer be required and others could be modified. The Council is therefore sharing the Executive’s view on which options they are “minded to take” and extending the consultation to allow time for more views on these revised options.
