New fund to help community groups to celebrate Coronation of King

To mark the Coronation of King Charles III, Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council, in partnership with the RCC, is launching a new fund to help established community groups across Hinckley and Bosworth to celebrate and commemorate this historic occasion.

Grants of up to £500 are available for those who are going to organise Coronation related activities or events, for example:

• Community Events between Saturday 6th May & Monday 8th May

• Flagpoles or Union Flags

• Commemorative benches or trees

• Coronation orchards or wildflower gardens

Please note that food and refreshments included in applications will only be supported up to a maximum of £100.

To qualify you will need to demonstrate that you are an existing/established voluntary group, and that your Coronation Celebrations are an extension of your existing offer to the community.

Please be advised grants are not available for one off private street parties.

To submit an application, groups should apply online and complete the short application form.

Applications must be received by Thursday 6th April in order to be considered.

Applications will be considered by a specially convened VCS funding panel, with funds released to successful applicants by mid-April.
