Tavistock Town Mayor Andy Hutton said ‘It’s a great delight to give grants to so many deserving Tavistock good causes. I know they will use the money well.

Going forward, the Council is in the process of making applying for grants easier, particularly for small amounts, so in October this year when the Grant Application period opens, I hope more groups will consider applying.’

Tavistock Town Council has the power to give financial help to local organisations to assist them to achieve their aims and purposes. The Council has a policy of only assisting truly local community groups, and this is interpreted to mean those organisations based in Tavistock, or national bodies with an independent branch in Tavistock.

The 2024 Grant application period will start on 1st October 2024, with applications required no later than 1st November 2024. Successful applicants will receive their Grants in Spring 2025. More information will be posted on the Council’s website in September.
