INTRODUCTION
Baildon Town Council is supportive of the work of community or voluntary groups operating within the Town. The Council offer community grants of, generally, up to £500 to such groups on an ongoing basis.
WHO CAN APPLY FOR A GRANT?
Grants are available to any community or voluntary group based in Baildon, or operating a substantial part of their activities in Baildon.
You must be able to demonstrate that any grant given will be of benefit to the people living within the Town.
Applications are only accepted from recognised, bona-fide, non-profit making organisations or groups who are properly constituted and can provide their constitution document.
Grants cannot be made available to individuals, nor can they be made available to business or profit-making organisations.
WHEN ARE GRANTS AVAILABLE/WHEN CAN I APPLY?
Community grants are agreed at Community Committee meetings
WHAT CAN THE MONEY BE USED FOR?
Your organisation can apply for a grant towards any appropriate project, event or the purchase of equipment that will benefit people living in Baildon.
The Council will not consider any grant towards day-to-day running costs such as rents, electricity, telephone charges etc. or towards any staff salaries or wages.
Grants can be awarded as a contribution towards a larger project, although the Council will wish to see evidence that you have access to the balance of the required money before funds are made available.

Saltaire Gym Club Working Party (a group of parents and supporters of the gym club that operates from Titus Salt School) were given £1,000 towards the coach travel for 26 gymnasts and 6 coaches to attend the "World Gymnaestrada" event organised in conjunction with BGA. The gymnasts, the majority of whom are from Baildon, represented Great Britain and joined gymnasts from across the globe to perform their duties. There are some pictures from the trip below.
