Knaresborough Lions Club, best-known in the area for organising the town’s annual Bed Race, has launched a one-off fund to support organisations in Knaresborough, surrounding villages and the wider Nidderdale area. Called the ‘Lions Community Fund’, it is designed to support local initiatives in the district.
Details of the Fund and a downloadable application form are available on this page. Enquiries can be made to KLionsCommunity@hotmail.com and completed applications should be sent to this same email. The deadline for applications is 30 November 2024 and the Lions will respond during January 2025.
“We have staged Community Funds in the past with great success and are delighted to be able to offer this opportunity again this year” said Knaresborough Lions Welfare Chair, Pam Godsell. “We welcome applications from any local groups involved in providing services in their community. Organisations are invited to apply to the Fund for donations for worthwhile causes.”
Under the terms of the Community Fund, applications are invited for small grants for one-off projects. Applications will not be considered for core funding in the form of staff salaries and will be considered only from properly constituted organisations rather than from individuals.
Individuals and families seeking assistance can contact the Knaresborough Lions in the usual way.
