EAST Grinstead Town Council is making grants available up to the sum of £500 towards the cost of new initiatives to encourage participation in sport.

The Town Council hopes to encourage new opportunities for East Grinstead residents to try sporting activities which will improve the health of those who take part.

Application forms are available from the Town Council’s East Court offices, and should be returned there by 30 November.

• Applications are invited from bona fide registered club/organisations operating within East Grinstead, whose primary objective is sport and recreation.
• One application can be submitted to the maximum of £500
• Applicants will be expected to demonstrate that they can match the grant from their own resources or from other fundraising efforts.
• Applicants will need to show how the grant will be used to encourage participation in sport and how the success of their venture will be measured.

The Town Council is particularly keen to support sports initiatives which focus on junior participants and which are fully accessible to the disabled wherever possible.

Applications will be considered by the Finance and General Purposes committee in January.
