Locality Fund 2024/25

July 14, 2024 in News

The ECC Locality Fund is still open to nominations and I have £5000 to recommend under the guidance.

What can the money be spent on?

Money must be spent in a way which benefits their division. There are three mainways of spending it:

• making a grant to a registered charity, a parish council or a properlyconstituted community or voluntary association for the purposes of a specificservice or project in the Division(s);
• buying goods or services; or
• commissioning services from ECC.

If you have a need for extra funding please get in touch with me via email cllr.james.newport@essex.gov.uk
