CASH Grants

Over the last few years Chorlton has benefited from many community groups applying for Council funded CASH grants to improve the environment. Trees and shrubs have been planted, benches and bike racks been put in place and grants have been used to provide supportive funding for the Christmas lights, Chorlton Book festival , Chorlton Arts festival and other community events. The Labour Council have made an extra £5,000 available for each ward to allocate this year, so groups can bid for grants up to a total of £45,000.

Last year we had the first U Decide event with over 100 residents attending an event to hear bids and vote for schemes they thought should receive grants of up to £1,000. A similar event is being held in this year on the 4th November at the Leisure centre. If you are interested in applying for a CASH grant of up to £1,000 for the U Decide event contact me by phone on 881 9641 or email, cllr.s.newman@manchester.gov.uk and I will get a form to you or your Group. The closing date for applications is 4th October.
