The Defra Rural Social and Community Programme funding for community plans ceased on 31st March 2008. This means the Community Council for Somerset no longer administers grant funding for community plans but is working with its partners to identify alternative sources which communities can apply for.

 

Current sources to try are:

 

Goldsmith Fund: Somerset Community Foundation have a Rural Fund which supports Parish Plans. Contact Justin Sargent on 01458 833133 or visit www.somersetcf.org.uk  for the latest information.
