Five grants reaching £6,400 have been made to community groups supported by Crawley Borough Council.

They include awards for a new youth football club, children’s dance, and an international festival at The Hawth.

Awards of up to £2,500 are available from the Small Grants scheme to help local voluntary and community groups improve wellbeing in Crawley.

We have awarded five additional small grants enabling more community support and activities in Crawley. We hope everyone involved enjoys taking part in these activities, and those who access new support find it helpful. We have more applications submitted for a final round this financial year and will announce those grants soon.
