Festive grant

The 2024 winter celebration grant programme has been set up for local organisations and groups within the Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise sector, as well as for parish and town councils in Hertfordshire, to contribute towards the cost of hosting community events and social celebrations through December 24 to the end of January 25, providing celebration opportunities this winter for all.  This funding ( to a maximum of £500 per organisation) could cover venue and food/energy costs, including transport to and from community venues for those who are isolated or living with a disability , with the events helping to bring people together and reduce loneliness whilst combatting food poverty at the same time.  

The aim of these events is to support Hertfordshire residents with the cost of living by reaching out to communities across the county and reaching those in most need to have some food and to socialise together in a safe, welcoming environment.
