What can we use this money for?
The Oake Sunshine Fund has been set up as a result of the New Rendy Solar Farm development and will provide grants that benefit residents of the parish of Oake, including the hamlets of Heathfield, Hillcommon, Hillfarrance and Oake
Which groups can apply?
We can only consider your group for a grant from this fund if you meet our minimum standards.
Our minimum standards cover things like:
- the types of groups we can give a grant to and how we expect them to be run
- how we expect those groups to manage their finances
- how those groups keep people safe.
All of our minimum standards are on our FAQs page, where you can also find lots of information about applying for funding.
You can also use our eligibility checker which will help you understand if you can apply for a grant from us.
When do we have to apply?
This fund is open twice a year, once in the spring and once in the autumn.
How likely am I to get a grant?
Sadly, we can’t provide funding to every group that applies to us.
We have around £5,000 to give out from the fund this year. We’re usually able to support 2 out of every 3 applications we receive.
The fund is deliberately broad in scope, and will consider requests for most activities benefitting local residents.
How are decisions made?
Your application will be assessed by one of our team. They’ll read through what you have written, look at your supporting documents, and check places like the Charity Commission and your website. We may contact you if we have any questions.
A recommendation will usually then be made, and a panel will make the final decision. The panel is made up of members of Oake Parish Council.
