Voluntary and Community organisations across the rural areas of North Northamptonshire are being urged to come forward and apply for grants of up to £20,000.
Organisations including parish councils, charities, community groups and school Parent Teacher Associations are all being encouraged to check their eligibility and apply online.
Organisations will be eligible to apply if they can demonstrate that the funding will be used to support the creation of or improvements to local rural green spaces, existing cultural, historic and heritage institutions or active travel enhancements e.g. community transport.
The money is from the area’s allocation of £217,840 for 2024-2025 from the Rural England Prosperity Fund.
