Eden District Council extends Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Fund 2022

Due to surging popularity of its Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Fund 2022, Eden District Council is making a further £10,000 available to assist Parish and Town Councils, community groups and individuals to organise events to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

The funding pot - now worth £30,000 - offers grants of £500 for small community events organised by both constituted and non-constituted groups and of up to £1,000 for larger events organised by constituted groups only, with minimum match funding of 20%.  These funds are being made available to anyone wishing to organise events, or activities such as street parties, tree planting, or coffee mornings, particularly over the Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday Weekend of 3 to 5 June 2022.

An Eden District Council spokesperson said “Eden District Council wants to play its part in commemorating the Queen’s astonishing service to our country and is making money available to help individuals and community groups organise events and activities for their local communities.

“The simple application process is open to all and we will make decisions quickly, notifying applicants as soon as possible after the review panel has made a decision.”
