Towns and villages across Swale can get help to spread the Christmas cheer thanks to a £25,000 grant scheme.
Swale Borough Council is inviting local groups to apply to its festive display grant scheme, which has been set up to help local organisations provide Christmas displays in towns and villages across the borough.
Organisations are being invited to apply for funding to support Christmas display projects by Thursday 31st October, as the money will be allocated at the beginning of November.
Cllr Richard Palmer cabinet member for community at the council, said:
“Christmas lights and displays can really brighten up the December months and help spread the spirit of the season for both residents and visitors.
We want to encourage and support local organisations that might want to update or improve their displays, or to put on displays in areas that haven’t had one before.
I’m urging groups that might want some help with funding to get in touch as soon as possible so we can make a decision and help them light up the borough for Christmas!”
The closing date for applications is Thursday 31st October, with all applications being assessed in the week commencing Monday 4th November.
