A grant scheme is set to be launched by Shropshire Council in a bid to help protect community assets in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Community Asset Grant Scheme Pilot will bid to help the sustainability of some community assets which are vitally important in achieving post-pandemic recovery with grants of up to £15,000.
They could be community hubs, community-owned pubs, shops or other social venues.
Village halls and community sports facilities without access to other grant schemes or not previously supported with Shropshire Council’s Covid grant support may also be considered.
The pilot small grants scheme aims to contribute to the work community groups are doing to develop, rescue or sustain community-managed or owned assets.
To be eligible, applicants will need to be working towards the following:
Successful applicants will need to demonstrate how the community is involved in the work, how the funded activity will support community use.
Applicants will be asked to set out how each proposed project will deliver social value (economic, social and environmental benefits) and further support community health and wellbeing as we continue to recover from the Coronavirus pandemic.
