Community Grant Scheme

Disley Parish Council Community Grant Scheme

Disley Parish Council has a modest annual budget set aside for community grants. A number of awards can be made each year to support community events and Disley-based voluntary organisations or societies.  The grants are open to bona fide voluntary organisations or societies based in Disley and Newtown with a membership mainly comprising of local residents.  Projects, events or programmes that can be shown to benefit our wider community as a whole will be given preference.

Grant Application Forms are available to download at: Community Grant Form, by phoning the Parish Council on 01663 762726, emailing admin@disleyparishcouncil.org.uk or collection from the Parish Office at Disley Community Centre, off Buxton Old Road, Disley. SK12 2BB.

Applicants will be invited to discuss their application with Councillors at a Parish Council Meeting.

Successful applicants will be required to complete a Grant Completion Form available at: Grant Completion Form.
