Crawley Borough Council has awarded new small grants to Crawley Young Persons Council and Talk Ifield in this month’s funding round.

CYPC will be publicising their elections with the £1,000 grant. They will also be able to recruit new members to help take part in their community events and activities.

Talk Ifield received its first ever grant of £830, which will help with the general running costs for local neighbourhood action coordinated by the group.

For anyone who is interested in applying for funding the grants are awarded to not-for-profit voluntary groups and community organisations to assist with the costs involved in providing new or existing community services.
