Broadwindsor Group Parish CLT is now in receipt of a small amount of land rent from their housing association partner Abri for the site at Northcombe Lea.
The CLT has set up a BGP CLT Community Fund so that they can share some of these monies with community groups and organisations across all the communities of the Broadwindsor Group Parish area.
Applications for the first funding round should be submitted between 1st September – 31st December 2024.
Notes on eligibility, conditions of funding and the application process:
1. Broadwindsor Group Parish Community Land Trust (BGP CLT) invites applications to the CLT Community Fund between 1 September and 31 December each year.
2. The application must be on behalf of a charity, a community enterprise or a community self-‐help or voluntary group constituted with a committee and a bank account.
3. BGP CLT annual funding pot will be dependent on the surplus of income available after BGP CLT’s annual running costs have been taken into account. The amount available for each application will be between £50 -‐ £500. BGP CLT reserves the right to offer less than the funding applied for.
4. Applicants must be able to identify how the grant would be used to develop services or facilities in a way that would benefit people within Broadwindsor Group Parish area (the communities of Broadwindsor, Burstock, Hursey, Drimpton, Netherhay,
Greenham, Kittwhistle, Blackdown, Seaborough).
5. If an organisation submits an application after all the monies available for the year have been committed, they may opt to have their application carried over to the following year.
6. Where successful, it will be understood that by accepting the funds awarded, the receiving organisation undertakes to provide a short written report to the BGP CLT Board setting out the amount actually spent and the extent to which the planned outcomes or impact of the funded activity or purchase have been achieved.
Examples of what applications could be used for:
• Capital costs eg equipment
• Running costs eg transport and administrative costs
• Addressing a specific community issue, and projects that include environmental /nature-‐based concerns
• Training/support for volunteers
Should you require additional information or assistance, please contact BGP CLT Secretary, Sheila Hawkins, on 11esgh528@gmail.com.
Next Monday’s meeting of Broadwindsor Group Parish Council will be held at BlackdownVillage Hall at 7.30pm. All are invited to attend.
