Telford is 50 years old in 2018 and Telford & Wrekin Council are offering community groups the opportunity to secure funding of up to £2,000 to hold an event to mark the occasion.
The Telford Pride @ 50 Celebration Grant is open to community/voluntary groups, neighbourhood groups, faith groups, charities, other not for profit organisations, Town or Parish Councils, schools, businesses or individuals.
This grant is available through the Council’s Pride in Our Community programme to help you organise celebration events during Telford’s 50th anniversary.
Events must be distinct and different to those usually carried out over the course of a year and must be open, allowing the whole community to get involved. All events must celebrate Telford’s 50th anniversary and fall under at least one of the following themes: People and places, Culture and communities, Green spaces, Get active.
Applications are open until Monday, 23 October, 2017. Guidance about the grant, how to apply and application form is available on the new website launched for the celebrations - www.telford50.co.uk - under the Funding section.
To help you plan your event during the application process, the Council has produced a communication and events toolkit, and these are also available on the Telford 50 website in the Resources section.
Councillor Rae Evans, Cabinet Lead for Partnerships, said: “We want to help as many people as possible get involved in celebrating Telford’s 50th anniversary.
“So, any ideas you have for a celebration event could be eligible for funding to help make these happen.
“We will guide you through the application process, it’s easy and straightforward – through the new website, www.telford50.co.uk ”
The Council has put a £50.000 fund together to support these community–led events for Telford 50.
