Bringing the community together through fundraising
Funding local projects via community grants...
Over the past 30 years, a key part of what we have achieved through our fundraising events is providing financial support to numerous local community projects.
​
At the end of each year we open applications for any non profit making local community based project to apply for a community grant. Applications are reviewed by the committee and funds awarded based on the project benefits to the residents of the Thaxted community.
​
Past community grants have included:
-
Replace School Equipment at Thaxted Primary School
-
Purchase sports kits and equipment for Thaxted Rangers
-
The town's celebration of the Queen's 90th Birthday
​
Applications for our Community Grants open on 1st November 2023.
