NCVO Funding update<\/strong><\/p>\n

A quick read update on Funding from NCVO here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CoastNEL funding available<\/strong><\/p>\n

In case you haven\u2019t seen it already, here in full is the announcement of the CoastNEL funding<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

In a move sure to be welcomed by community and voluntary groups, businesses and visitors alike, CoastNEL has just announced that they are making available a number of grants totalling \u00a3170,000 to organisations looking to put on events and activities in the Cleethorpes area.<\/p>\n

CoastNEL is the private sector led group responsible for allocating, distributing and spending the \u00a33.8 million awarded to Cleethorpes as part of the Coastal Community Funding Initiative and its chair Lawrence Brown said: \u201cIt is well known that we were successful in securing \u00a33.8 million of Government funding and have started our engagement and consultation process in terms of changes to the street scene such as new lighting columns, upgraded footpaths etc.\u00a0 What might be less well known is that within our bid we had identified a sum of \u00a3170,000 of funding to encourage community events in Cleethorpes and also to look at extending the season outside the traditional summer months\u201d.<\/p>\n

There are three different types of grant available:-<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Up to \u00a3500 for small community groups looking to put on small scale events or activities;<\/li>\n
  2. Up to \u00a31,000 for businesses to work together to put on public events that will boost trade, increase footfall and enhance the existing events programme, for example, food and drink fairs and artisan markets;<\/li>\n
  3. Up to \u00a315,000 for professional events providers looking to bring new and imaginative visitor experiences into the resort that will attract more people and ideally extend the tourism season. These experiences will promote Cleethorpes as a destination location with a variety of arts, cultural, heritage and sporting events.\u00a0 The grant must include match funding, attract large numbers of visitors and complement the existing events programme. .<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    At this stage it is thought that there will be three rounds of funding windows and the events must be delivered by October 2019.\u00a0 Applications for the first round must be submitted by 28 February 2018.<\/p>\n

    Councillor Matt Patrick, North East Lincolnshire Council\u2019s portfolio holder for tourism, said: \u201cThis is a great way of encouraging more people to visit Cleethorpes and see the changes that will be happening in and around the resort.\u00a0 Working with partners such as CoastNEL we have been looking at ways of extending the season and bringing visitors into the resort all year round, this is the first stage in that process.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Lawrence Brown concluded: \u201cThe Government has made it clear that this money can only be used for these types of projects and has to be allocated wisely.\u00a0 As long as an event complies with the necessary health and safety then we are making it as simple as possible for someone to apply for the funds.\u201d<\/p>\n

    More information can be obtained by visiting http:\/\/www.discovernel.co.uk\/#\/page\/coastnel<\/a> where grant application forms and details of submission dates are also available.<\/p>\n

    The funds were awarded in May 2017 as part of round 4 of the Coastal Community Fund administered by the Department for Communities and Local Government.<\/p>\n

    Santander Grants<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If you\u2019ve not come across them before, the Santander Grants are as easy to apply as describing your project on a postcard and dropping it off at the Santander branch! The programme is ongoing.\u00a0 There are a number of grants to apply for and all the details are here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Dormant accounts money released<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The government has announced that up to \u00a3330m from dormant bank and building society accounts will be used to help the homeless, disadvantaged young people, local charities and other good causes in the UK<\/a> over the next four years. NCVO released a statement outlining that while a welcome boon for initiatives tackling important causes, NCVO hopes that the use of an estimated \u00a32bn of dormant assets<\/a> is used more strategically, for example, by endowing community foundations to provide local grant funding over the long-term and helping charities to purchase community assets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Event to launch new Clinks funding programme<\/strong><\/p>\n
