Each year County Councillors have a “Locality Budget” to use to support local organisations.  The best support is to help them gain much larger funds from the District Council, the lottery or landfill tax and many groups in Gipping Valley do that very well. 

So far, this year I have helped: Barham Green residents, St Peters 60+ club, Crucial Crew, Bramford Loraine Victory Hall, Claydon Primary, Bramford Playing Field, 4ever young, cycle speedway and Claydon & Barham Community Centre.

The Victory Hall committee and the Playing Field committee used the money, together with funds from the parish to leavel in substantial grants from the SITA trust.  Just what we need!

Applications are in hand for Gt Blakenham Village Hall, Barham & Claydon Football Club, Bramford Football Club, Claydon Parish for Street Light improvements and Cherryfields. 

I hope you find that a good selection.  If not let me know by filling in a comment.
