Community Grants scheme
HRTC Community Grants
The Council have been delighted to support a variety of local organisations during 2018/19 through the Community Grant Scheme. The work which takes place in our community from these and all the other charitable, voluntary and not for profit organisations is amazing and contributes to our community in so many ways. A big thank you to all those who help manage, organise and volunteer.
Over £22,000 has been awarded to the following Key Partners:
|
Dunstable & District CA |
|
SORTED |
|
Keech Hospice Care |
|
Community Action Bedfordshire (Formerly Voluntary & Community Action) |
|
South Beds Dial A Ride |
|
Houghton Regis Memorial Hall |
A further commitment has been made to accept Full House Theatre as a Key Partner. They will receive their first Key Partner grant in 2019-20.
In addition to this a Large Capital Grant has been agreed for Magpas Air Ambulance of £3,000 to support this life saving service in the purchase of a new helicopter.
At a local level the council have also awarded a total of £3,000 to the following groups:

Hawthorn Park School |

Hub Café |

The Community Grants Scheme has been so successful this year, it is sad to report that the council’s budget for community grants has now all been spent. However, it is anticipated that the scheme will again be available from April 2019.
