Typically these are only small sums of money as the Community Council itself receives very limited funding support from East Lothian Council.<\/p>\n<p>Last year the Community Council was able to award between \u00a3100 and \u00a3200 to eight different groups active in the area. Examples of past support include funds to New Winton and Boggs Holdings for maintenance of local community halls, cash towards books for Pencaitland Parish Church, money to assist the local Rainbows Pack and many other beneficiaries over the years.<\/p>\n<p>If you work with a local group in the community, to be considered for funding support we ask for the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What does your group do in the community?<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>How much do you require?<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>What will the funds you are seeking be used for?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whilst we cannot guarantee that the Community Council will be able to meet funding requests, we will do our best to allocate what we do have as fairly as possible.<\/p>\n<p><H2><strong>How to Apply<\/strong><\/H2><br \/>\nThe Community Council will consider all requests it receives before the <strong>15th of February<\/strong>.
