Coronation of King Charles III

The Coronation of King Charles III is set to make 2023 a memorable year. To help support events in our community Melling Parish Council would like to remind all residents that small grants are available from the Parish Council for a variety of different purposes including to help communities in Melling celebrate and commemorate this historic occasion.

Small grants can be applied for by those who are hoping to organise Coronation related activities or events in Melling, for example:
• Street parties or community picnics;
• Commemorative benches or trees;
• Wildflower gardens.

This funding is open to local constituted sports clubs, community groups, clubs and charity organisations.

To apply for funding, groups should visit Melling Parish Council and complete the short application form. Applications must be received by noon on 6th February 2023 in order to be considered at the Parish Councils meeting on 14th February 2023 or by noon on 6th March 2023 to be considered at the Parish Council meeting on 14th March 2023.

There will be no further opportunities to submit a grant application in time for the Coronation after these dates so the final deadline for applications for grants relating to the Coronation of King Charles III is 6th March 2023.
