At the end of March, Ashington Town Council invited applications for Annual Grant Funding and are delighted to have now pledged £64,250. This followed a change in how awards to outside bodies are made. The Council moved to an open invitation creating more opportunity for new and emerging groups and allowing us to direct funding where we feel it would be most beneficial.
The Council recognised that in some instances funding had become routine, rather than considered, and following a thorough process, due diligence is clear.
Funding in 2022/23 represents a 50% increase on awards made in 2021/22 with several new applicants attracted.
