Grant for older people’s groups in Basildon
A short guide to the council’s contribution towards meeting-place rent or hire costs.
Who it is designed for
This discretionary council grant is aimed at older people’s groups operating in Basildon Borough. The application asks about membership, the group’s purpose, its regular meeting place and the people and parts of the borough that benefit.
What to prepare
You will need details of paid staff and volunteers, account signatories, meeting arrangements and annual venue costs. The form requires a relevant hiring agreement and a recent bank statement.
The request cannot be more than the group’s annual rent or hire costs and is capped at £500.
Before applying
Read the linked council guidance in full. As the fund is discretionary, an application does not guarantee an award.
