Talkback Spring 2012 - Corby Borough Council

Your Neighbourhood Association
Additional Grant Funding
The Council supports a number of neighbourhood associations across the borough with a small separate
pot of money to help them with their running costs and expenses. Your Association works hard to secure
any additional grants and raises funds itself in order that it can make a difference to your community.
This year we had a small underspend on the pot of
money we keep to support associations and were
aware there were a number of associations who were
feeling the added pinch and pressures associated with
community events to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee
as well as other events and priorities they wished to
address. A decision was made by the Chairs Group to
allow the underspend to be used by associations.
Applications were sent out to all associations and a
panel looked at each application and awarded sums
of money for specific purposes in the coming year.
The panel was made up of Councillor Bob Eyles, Cath
Maglone (LLSM) and Alan Blowes the Chairman of
Lloyds West Neighbourhood Association.
