Apply Now for a Coronation Community Grant

To mark the Coronation of King Charles III on May 6th, Oundle Town Council (OTC) will make available up to £10,000 in grants in order to enable Oundle's wonderful community groups to commemorate the event.

Grants will be awarded via OTCs normal grant funding process (details of which can be found at https://www.oundle.gov.uk/community-grants.html with special focus for 2023 being on those that will create a lasting coronation "legacy" – for example an event to "open" new infrastructure for a club, or focus on a new project, or celebrate some young talent coming through the group who will help represent Oundle in the future. "Green" projects will be looked upon especially favourably, and in all cases "legacy" would be best defined as something that will commemorate the coronation in 2023 AND EITHER produce something that will be capable of enhancing a given location now and in the future OR be "passed on" to future users of that location.

No grant of over £2,000 will be paid.

Those groups who wish to plan an event or commemoration around the Coronation can apply to OTC as per https://www.oundle.gov.uk/community-grants.html

The deadlines for applications to be considered at the February 14th Finance Committee meeting (where up to £5,000 max would be available) would be c. February 8th 2023; and the deadlines for applications to be considered at the April 11th Finance Committee meeting would be c. April 5th 2023.

Further Finance Committee meetings will take place later in the year.
