FROME Community Trust has announced that applications for grant funding are now open for community organisations and groups in Frome and the local villages.
A total of £4,500 is available, raised entirely by the proceeds from Frome Community Lottery. Grants are meant for the development of community facilities in the local area and are typically given for between £200 and £2,000.
Trustee Carole Whittard said, “Last year we were able to support Phoenix House Social Club, Memorial Theatre, WHY, Frome Tennis Club, Frome Swimming Club, Active and in Touch, Fair Frome, The Pod and Frome Festival.
“None of this could be done without the lottery supporters who play the community lottery every week, as 50% of their weekly stake comes back to Frome to support local groups.
“And remember players have a chance to win cash prizes of up to £25,000. Local residents who wish to join can do a through the Trust’s website.”
Applications for grant funding should be made via the Trust’s website,
Applications are now open until Monday 3rd April 2023.
