Grants are made to groups across a wide spectrum of social, welfare, heritage, educational and community development activity. The majority of funding is directed at locally based work involving, and often initiated by, members of that local community. They also make small sporting grants and educational grants available to individuals.There are several grant types:- Small / Medium / Large Group Grants- Student Grants (available to residents undertaking a further or higher education course or training)- Sporting Grants (available for anyone competing at National or Championship level or participating in a recognised training camp as trainees)- The Knockie Fund (available to anyone in the area who is currently suffering fuel poverty or who require food vouchers)
