Morecambe Town Council gives grants to support local organisations and projects for the benefit of Morecambe and its residents.
The scheme is open to any organisation to ensure that public funds are used in ways that benefit groups of residents and protect the interests of residents in the future.
Each application will be considered on its own merit, however the benefit to the Morecambe Town Council area or inhabitants must be comensurate with the expenditure.
Grants can be applied for projects, events, sponsorship, and festivals.
Please download the grant criteria and application form below and return to events@morecambe.gov.uk
Please note the Committee meet every two months and it may take up to 12 weeks for applicants to receive a decision.
