Applications will be considered from individuals who are
primarily residing in the Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote area.

Applications will be received from young people in Year Nine at
school, to 21 years of age.
·
Projects must have obvious benefits for the young person and the
wider community.

Only one successful application is permitted per year (July to
June). A second application will only be accepted in exceptional cases.
·
Financial considerations will be taken into account, and require
a letter of recommendation which outlines the need for the application.
·
Funding is limited to two grants per individual in total. Any
further applications are then at the discretion of the Community Board, and
will require further evidence of financial need.
·
Applicants are expected to provide evidence of other
fund-raising activities being undertaken, to demonstrate the applicant is not
relying solely on Community Board support.
·
Applications must be completed by individual applicants.
Where there are three or more applications received from members of one group

to the Discretionary Response Fund, and the grant will be paid in one lump sum
to the bank account of the group.
·
Applications for assistance with career development costs will
not be accepted.
·
Retrospective applications will not be considered. Applications
should be submitted at least six weeks prior to the activity/event taking
place.
Successful applicants must report back to the Community Board by
submitting an Accountability Report about their experience, and if possible
attend a Community Board meeting.
