There are a number of funds available to help support local community resilience projects. These are made available to us to apply for at certain times of the year. If you have an idea and you think the Community Council may be able to help, please email DKCCinfo@gmail.com, with an outline of your idea, and we will be in touch. Please allow plenty of time for us to work together to get the application in before the due date!
