“I am delighted that the panel has chosen to start with sponsoring Sleaford Striders’ Sleaford Half-Marathon which not only attracts competitors and visitors from the region but from across the country as well.
“On behalf of the panel I invite groups and organisations from Sleaford and Kirkby-la-Thorpe to come forward to apply for grants from the Community Fund which can range from £500 to £20,000 to help their work in our communities.”
The Half-Marathon is the first to receive a £2,000 award from the Panel’s new Community Fund.
The Community Fund is an allocation of £120,000 that the Panel aims to distribute over a three year period. The panel aims to distribute £40,000 per year which will be split equally with an annual allocation of £20,000 towards projects in Sleaford Town and £20,000 towards projects in Kirby le Thorpe parish.
Application forms and guidelines are available by visiting the panel page on the Sleaford REP’s website www.sleafordrep.co.uk
Applications will be considered at the panel meetings held on a quarterly basis during the year.
