Grants

Applications for a grant should be made directly to the parish clerk. Please read the Policy and then complete the Application Form, both of which can be downloaded from the Documents section on this page.

You will also find it useful to look at the Marking Grid which the parish council uses to aid its decision making.

Where do the funds come from?

Queen Camel Parish Council allocate money from the precept each year to provide grants to the community. These amounts will vary from year to year based on affordability. Grants from this source are generally for smaller projects and may include assistance with running costs.

The Community Benefit Fund consists of funds that are ring-fenced in the Parish Council reserves for community projects. The fund holds payments received from Downing LLP, the company which now manages the Solar Farm on Sutton Montis Road. Solar power funds are intended for use by projects that will have a positive impact for years to come.
