Charlton Kings Parish Council sets aside a sum of money each year to support community projects (local charity, community group or project which benefits people living in Charlton Kings). Applications for grants may be submitted anytime between April and February. Applications for non-financial support such as free meeting space or publicity for projects, instead of, or in addition to, grant funding may also be submitted.
