Who can apply?
The Luxulyan Parish Community Fund supports community projects within the parish of Luxulyan. Organisations residing outside of this area can apply on the condition that a large percentage of beneficiaries attending the project reside within Luxulyan and this can be evidenced. See the Guidelines using the link above.
GUIDELINES for applying to this fund.
- Eligible organisations for the Luxulyan Parish Community
Fund (LPCF) are local non-profit groups, clubs, associations and organisations
that serve Luxulyan parishioners. Grants will not be awarded for promotion of
political or religious views.
- You must explain and/or evidence how many
Luxulyan parishioners benefit from your organisation or project.
- You must have an organisational bank account or
have permission from another local organisation to use theirs.
- The grant project must begin within 6 months of
approval.
- Grants will not be considered for projects that
have already been completed.
- Grants will be limited to one per organisation
per year unless there is justification for a second grant. LPCF’s grants are
usually between £250 and £5,000.
- Recipients of grants in excess of £200 must
provide a written report of how the grant money is used within 12 months of
approval of the grant. The written report may take the form of an annual report
for the Parish Meeting, or a set of accounts which clearly identifies the
manner of spending.
The written report or set of
accounts must be deposited with the clerk of the council and hence becomes a
document liable for inspection by the general public under the Local Government
Act 1972, sec 228.
- If the grant is not spent within 12 months, or within
the reasonable time expected for the project, the funds must be returned.
- You must provide to the Clerk: A) Completed Application Form; B) Most recent end-of-year accounts; C) Bank statement under three months old
- The
committee may ask for further documents or clarification.
- The
decision of the Luxulyan Parish Community Fund Committee is final.
- The
Luxulyan Parish Community Fund Committee is a committee of Luxulyan Parish
Council. The Clerk will advise applicants when the committee will meet. The
applicant(s) is welcome to attend the meeting and may speak on behalf of their
application.
- The
LPCF Committee would appreciate acknowledgement of the grant funding in
advertising or promotional material about the activities/project made possible
by the Fund. For use of the LPCF logo, contact the Clerk.
Sources of Income
The LPCF currently receives its income from two regular sources. Clean Earth Energy Ltd of Wadebridge administers the Lestoon wind turbine for the owner, West Cornwall Wind Farms. Annual payments of £10,000 (RPI index linked) will be made for 20 years starting from the anniversary of the siting of the Lestoon turbine (November 2015). The other source awaits confirmation and is from the Luxulyan and Tredinnick Solar Farm which will grant £5000 to the fund each year.
