Kendal Town Cumbria - Grants awarded to clubs associations and charities

Kendal Town Council

Each year, the Town Council makes a significant number of grants to clubs, associations and charities which operate within the boundary of the town.

In 2011/12 grants of £49,140 were made to organisations within the town whose activities are of benefit to Kendal residents. These include not only the Brewery Arts Centre, the Museum and the Citizens’ Advice Bureau but also a myriad of smaller organisations, ranging from voluntary bodies supporting those in need, Kendal Old Folks' Treat Committe, youth groups and clubs eg Kendal Lads' & Girls' Club. The annual Torchlight Procession, Mintfest and Fireworks Display also receive financial support as do many other local projects that give benefit and enjoyment to local residents and visitors to the town all year round.

No grants are made to political organisations, religious bodies, local schools, or parent/teacher organisations.

Councillors of Kendal Town Council are also trustees of two Charities administered by the Council: The Dowker Bindloss and The Schools of Science & Art.
