Councillor David Neighbour, Leader of Hart District Council, said: “The Here for Hart Community Grants scheme is helping local organisations turn ambitious ideas into reality. The quality of applications was extremely high and these projects stood out for their ability to make a meaningful and lasting difference to the lives of local people.
“These grants are about backing community and voluntary groups that know their communities best. Whether it's tackling isolation, improving wellbeing or creating new opportunities for residents, these projects will have a positive impact long after the funding has been awarded.”
These grants follow those we gave to 28 organisations in Hart for projects up to £5,000. Read full details on all the grants awarded
