Community group projects in Sleaford could qualify for a £5,000 grant

Greencoat Capital – owners of the Sleaford Renewable Energy Plant – is in partnership with North Kesteven District Council to make funding available through the Community Power Fund to support projects within a five mile radius of the plant.

A total of £125,000 is available over five years with the aim of distributing £25,000 each year and the next deadline for applications is midnight on December 9.

Grants are aimed at supporting projects which cover the environment, sport, wellbeing and education and the key aim is to improve the lives and wellbeing of people living in the target area and bring benefit to the community and group.

To qualify, groups must be not for profit organisations and two application forms are available – one for grants of up to £1,000 and another for grants from £1,001 to £5,000.
