The Coastal Change Grants Fund is a new grant fund made available by the Manhood Peninsula Partnership to residents and groups across the Manhood Peninsula in order to help them to address specific local issues and/or support local schemes and initiatives relating to the coast.
This scheme will fund applications for one-off projects or schemes. We expect applications to be coastal in flavour and to reflect local priorities within the community. Projects must be able to demonstrate a relationship to the coast and coastal change, and we will look for applications demonstrating broad community level support. Projects are welcomed from locations in the following Manhood Peninsula parishes:
Apuldram; Birdham; Earnley; East Wittering & Bracklesham; Hunston; North Mundham; Selsey; Sidlesham; West Itchenor; West Wittering
Grants could go towards: purchase of equipment, buying in the services of an organisation, the cost of running a new community event or guided walk, developing new activities or facilities, improving the environment, providing opportunities for greater integration of the local community, or developing community/parish action plans.
More important information about the grants and how to apply for them is contained in the Coastal Change Grant Application Form and Guidelines – see the links below:
