170k funding available for cultural and heritage institutions in Tewkesbury borough
Non-profit community organisations across Tewkesbury borough can apply for funding of up to £24,999.
It’s part of the final round of funding through the UK Shared Prosperity and Rural England Prosperity Fund grant schemes.
So far, £180,000 has been awarded from a total of £350,000 to support capital projects across the borough.
Tewkesbury Borough Council will be distributing capital funding received through the fund via two grant schemes – one to enhance cultural, historical and heritage institutions and the other to improve the energy efficiency of community buildings.
Applications for both grant schemes close at 5pm on Tuesday, November 5.
Cllr Alex Hegenbarth, Tewkesbury Borough Council’s lead member for community and housing, said: “I’m looking forward to seeing the positive impact of this grant funding across the borough.
“Applications for the two schemes are now open, with over £170,000 available to enhance our borough’s cultural, heritage and historical institutions and help improve the energy efficiency of our community buildings.
“I encourage non-profit groups and organisations to find out more and to apply.”
