GRANTS

Responsive Mode Grants

West Looe Town Trust provides grant funding to individuals and community groups within the Trust's geographical area of benefit (the area administered by Looe Town Council). All applications for grant funding MUST fall within the Trust's charitable framework. 

Education Grants

Each year, West Looe Town Trust makes a significant proportion of its income available to provide financial support to those young people from Looe who are studying further education courses.   Last year we have introduced a new Student Grant Application Form available for download on this website.   Closing date for applications is 1st July each year.   If you were too late this year to apply please keep an eye on our website for the deadline for applications for next year for students starting their studies in September.

Queen Elizabeth II Grant

In 2022, the Board introduced a new grant in memory of Queen Elizabeth II.  The Grant is available every year for 10 years from 2022 with a yearly pledge of £1000.  Each application will be subject to review, to a worthy project, within our area of grant, in compliance with the Trust's Constitution and forms are available both in the office or downloadable from this website.  In 2022 the money was awarded to May Fair Celebrations and in 2023 it has been awarded to 1st Looe Sea Scouts who are looking to improve their outside area and activities.   New applications are invited each year.


Other Grants

We have also introduced a Grant Application Form for other community groups or individuals to use for requests of support outside of the Education Grants and a copy of this form is also available for download on this website.
