Councillor Aaron McIntyre, Leisure & Community Development Chair, said: "These two grants offer opportunities for local groups to get support to host an inclusive programme of festival activity and/or implement community development related programmes.
"When applying for a Community Support Grant, constituted groups are encouraged to create programmes that will improve community relations, reduce social isolation or strengthen the sense of community at a grassroots level.

"There are a variety of ways in which local groups can deliver vibrant and imaginative programmes of festival activity so please be sure to submit your application for consideration.”
Those organisations interested in applying to either grant scheme are invited to attend an information workshop.
