Event organisers encouraged to apply for grants of up to £1,000

Grants of up to £1,000 are available for organisers of free events taking place in Tendring over the next few months.

Eligible events could qualify for a share of £10,000 from Tendring District Council’s (TDC) allocation from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF) – which totals £1,188,232 over three years.

Ivan Henderson, TDC cabinet member for economic growth, regeneration and tourism, encouraged event organisers to apply.

“The aim is to help local independent organisations either make the most of the summer season, or look to extend the season and increase footfall during traditionally quieter months,” Cllr Henderson said.

“We recognise that tourism plays a key role in our economy, but we also know the sector is keen to develop our year-round offer; these grants can help to support that.”

Applications will be reviewed as they are received, and the fund will remain open until the allocation has been spent – so organisers are encouraged to apply early.

Events must take place by 31 March 2024, and be free to attend for the public.
