Grants and Fundraising
Grants can be requested from the following:
- Swale Borough Council members' grants - to do these first contact those councillors representing wards in Sittingbourne and ask for their support. We can then submit a grant form naming at least one councillor in support. Swale have always let us add more supporters later.
- Kent County Council members' grants - to do these first contact those councillors representing divisions in Sittingbourne and ask for their support.
- Parish councils - some parish councils cover areas that we do sleigh rounds in. We can send in applications for financial support. These can just be sent straight in and we don't need to contact individual councillors first. We normally offer to run a Santa sleigh round in the areas of parish councils that support us.
We offer to thank supporters in a letter to the local newspaper.
