Grants

Each year, the Council makes a limited sum available to help support  local community and voluntary organisations. The Council wishes to see such organisations flourish and develop in the Village and by awarding small grants helps to achieve this objective.

The Council also awards grants to Corfe Mullen Youth Trust to assist with the running of the Youth Club at Lockyers Hub and to Corfe Mullen Village Hall to maintain and improve the complex for hirers.
