This vital financial sub-committee is entrusted with the responsible and strategic distribution of the £25,000 community allocation of the Legacy Fund, ensuring that the anniversary leaves a tangible mark on the parish.

Their primary role involves reviewing grant applications from local charities, schools, and community groups who are seeking to build commemorative infrastructure, such as new park benches, public art murals, or accessible community gardens.

The group will utilize a strict, transparent scoring matrix to evaluate bids based on long-term sustainability, community impact, and alignment with the council’s Net Zero goals.

By isolating the financial vetting process into a specialized group, the council guarantees that every pound of public money is scrutinized fairly and awarded to projects that truly reflect the spirit and future ambitions of the jubilee year.
