As part of the Council’s assistance to outside Groups and Organisations, grants are made to local Clubs and Charitable Organisations.

Grants are primarily given as a pump priming exercise, to enable things to happen and to show the Council's support to those groups and organisations doing good work in the community.

Good examples of this are the Council’s financial assistance to the organisers of the popular Community Street Fayre, to the St Peter and St Paul's Pantry.

In order for the Parish Council to be able to rationally and objectively assess applications, a one stop Application Form has been created alongside a revised set of criteria.  

Full details of the Criteria including Grant Aid's Terms and Conditions can be found here 

Please note that only Applications submitted using the official Grant Aid form will be considered for funding.

To submit your completed application and associated documents please either email: enquiry@rustington-pc.gov.uk or post to: Rustington Parish Council, 34 Woodlands Avenue, Rustington, West Sussex BN16 3HB
