Local MP welcomes funding pot to help local projects and initiatives through the Coronavirus outbreak.
Maria Miller, MP for Basingstoke has welcomed Hampshire County Council’s decision to increase the annual grant available for local projects, initiatives and organisations allocated by each county councillor, in response to the Coronavirus outbreak.
Maria said; “This help will be invaluable to our local projects, initiatives and organisations at this difficult time. I welcome the County Council’s decision to support or community on a very local level, by financially supporting some of the remarkable work going on in our communities.
I urge all local organisations who are facing difficulties to consider applying, initiatives such as these make a huge difference.”
Grants are available of between £100 and £10,000 and the scheme is now open, funding is decided by individual county councillors who know their local areas well and have a good understanding of where one-off financial support may be required.
