At The Finance Committee meeting in January an amount will be identified
from which grants will be allocated for the financial year and once exhausted
only emergency requests for assistance, and generally only from organisations
that the Parish Council had Custodial Trustee status, will be considered.
Grant requests received in the year will be considered at
the next meeting of the Finance Committee. Payment will be made from the
remaining grant allocation.
Organisations requesting financial assistance will be
requested to submit copies of their last year end accounts. Numbers or
percentages of members that belong to an organisation and live within Boxley
Parish will also be required.
Where equipment is ‘gifted’ to an organisation the parish council
require that it be insured and maintained at the expense of the user
Section 137 grants must be "in the interests of or will directly
benefit the area or its inhabitants, or of part of it, or of some of it."
Requests from National Charities, which have a local area office, should be
closely considered so that where necessary the donation can be made to the
local office.
