Lydney Town Council Grants, Donations & The Mayor’s Civic Award Scheme

What is the Grants Fund?
Every year Lydney Town Council sets aside money within the budget for the Grants Fund, aimed to benefit people and projects local to the Parish of Lydney.
Applications will be considered for financial assistance towards a specific project, item or activity from community associations, cultural, educational, sporting and charitable organisations, which are non-commercial and whose membership and field of activities are located within the Parish.
Who can apply?

What will not be funded?
  • Activities that are part of statutory obligations.
  • Loan repayments.
  • Retrospective applications where the activity or project has already been carried out (unless Council notified in advance).
  • Religious or political activities unless unrestricted community benefit can be demonstrated.

Student Community Shield – Recipient 2024/2025

Alesha Hill
Dean Academy student Alesha Hill was presented with a Community award by Mayor of Lydney Cllr Tasha Saunders.

Alesha was nominated by the school for being relentlessly positive and dedicated to her studies and exams in spite of the medical challenges she has faced, especially over the last year or so. She is such a friendly and respectful member of the school community.

Head Teacher Richard Brand commented “Alisha is a joy to teach and a credit to the school and her family, with a bright future ahead of her and we wish her all the very best in her future endeavours.”
