THE Spotlight Programme is intended to help Mid Sussex District Council support diverse sectors of the district, and each year the Council aims to ‘spotlight’ particular members of the community.

As part of the Spotlight Programme for 2015/16, the Council is pleased to announce that it will be awarding grants to voluntary organisations working to improve the quality of life for older people living in Mid Sussex.

So if your organisation works with older people, and needs some additional one-off help for projects such as funding to hold a special event for older people, or needs items of equipment but lacks the funds to do this, contact Mid Sussex District Council.

Grants are usually awarded up to £500 but will not cover retrospective items, or form part of a contribution towards other projects or running costs.

All applications must meet the terms of the Council’s grants scheme and further details including an application form. Council priorities and guidance notes can be found on this link www.midsussex.gov.uk/grants.

The grants will be considered at the next Cabinet Grants Panel meeting due to be held on 13th October and the deadline for receipt of applications is 31 August.
