North Herts Council is pleased to announce that a total of £2,000 has been allocated to two local community groups following recommendations made at the Royston Community Forum on 17 December*. These grants are designed to support the ongoing services these groups provide, benefiting the local community and enhancing the well-being of residents.
The grants awarded include:
- £1,000 to Carers in Hertfordshire: This funding will support the running costs of their vital support hub in Royston, which assists unpaid carers, ensuring they have access to guidance, respite and resources.
- £1,000 to Caudwell Youth: The grant will be used to fund the training of volunteers and contribute to the salary of a support worker. Caudwell Youth work with young people offering support to help them reach their full potential.
Cllr Val Bryant, Executive Member for Community & Partnerships, who approved the funding under delegated decision, said: "We are thrilled to support these two vital organisations, Carers in Hertfordshire and Caudwell Youth, which provide essential services to our community.
"The Royston Community Forum is an excellent opportunity for local groups to receive much-needed funding, and we encourage others to attend the next forum to explore similar opportunities for support."
The next Royston Community Forum will take place on 26 March 2025, offering another opportunity for local groups to apply for funding and seek support from the council.
