Coronation Celebrations, Show and Music Event, Heating Oil help.
Kings Coronation celebration?
Time is passing and I thought it would be a good idea to see if anyone would be interested in helping/Organising a village event on or close to 6th May.
There is some grant funding avaulable via ERYC, The Fund will be available to help with the costs of appropriate related activities (for example, community events, street decorations, themed artwork, commemorative benches and plaques etc). Applicants can apply for a maximum of £500 and a minimum of £100 per project. Successful projects must be directly related to The King's Coronation and demonstrate appropriate community benefit and/or community input. It is anticipated that the fund will only support one application in each parish and town council area, subject to the availability of unallocated grant funds.
I can submit the application if required, but we need a plan. Some ideas are a street party, Picnic, Family sports event, commemorative mugs for children. We have some ideas for venue, but they are currently outdoors, so if the weather was a little damp it could be delayed to the following weekend, so some flexibility would be required, unless a covered venue became available?
If anyone wants to help and/or organise, let me know (01759 318851 or 07805 496 748)

Show and Music Event
Just to let you know, we do plan to hold a Village show and a Music event this year, so you budding flower and vegetable growers can start planning and any musicians can tune your instruments. From initial conversations with people, it is likely that the show will be held within a week of the Music festival to minimise the number of times the tents need erecting, staging and dismantling. The music festival is most likely to be August Bank holiday weekend
Help with Fuel Bills
The government's Household Support Fund will help vulnerable households with the rising cost of heating oil. As a result, HWRA have been awarded funding from East Riding Council to offer grants to eligible residents in East Yorkshire.
On application if eligible, households will receive an oil delivery of approx. 500 litres and free membership to the YORSwitch Bulk Oil Buying Scheme for the year. (normally £20 per year).
The criteria can be viewed on our website below, along with the application forms.
