Examples of Locality Budget Funding Allocation
Totnes Allotment Association
Locality budget funding of 1,607 was provided to fund the necessary legal costs associated with the creation of allotments at Kingsbridge Hill. This funding was the last part of the funding package and was matched by 15,190 from three other sources. Had the grant not been made the Association would have struggled to meet the costs from their very limited funds.
Young Enterprise Programme
Funding was provided to enable a programme of activity to encourage business awareness and entrepreneurial activity in 6 primary schools in the south west part of the district. This was planned as very much a pilot programme with the intent of stimulating interest from other schools to take part in the future and also to engage positively with local business.
