Have you set up an innovative project in your town which other towns could learn from?

Now, with help from Action for Market Towns’

‘Town Alive’ programme, grants are available to help towns share their good ideas and practical projects with each other.

It is called Towns-4-Towns – and here is how it works. Applications for a grant involve a ‘tutor’ town – which has a successful project it wishes to share – and one or more ‘learner’ towns who are keen to implement the scheme locally.

Dozens of great projects are recognized every year through the National Market Town Awards – from loyalty shopping cards to using e-bay to support community projects. The Towns-4-Towns grants will help the people who devised these projects spread their ideas nationwide, thereby helping the vitality of all our small towns.

The maximum grant is £500 to cover 40% of project costs. The Towns Alive programme is funded  by the Big Lottery Fund.
