The main aims of the community grants scheme are to fund activities and projects which bring community benefit and to involve people in the community by bringing them together to enjoy educational, recreational, leisure and other community activities or to improve the local environment.
Support can be provided for a range of activities including administration and publicity costs, purchase of equipment and materials, annual outings and entrance fees, start-up costs and special events.
The total allocation for community grants for the Hamilton area for the year 2022 to 2023 was £25,750, and the remaining balance is £19123.
