Funding for Parish Plans

DEFRA funding has now come to an end but in a new three year partnership with the Colyer-Fergusson Charitable Trust we have £140,000 to support NEW parish plans in East Kent - that is the districts of Ashford, Canterbury, Dover, Shepway, Swale and Thanet. For guidance notes or an application form use the links below. If having read the guidance notes you need more advice or you are in any way curious as to what a parish plan is and what it can do for your community, Trevor Skelton would be very happy to hear from you.
