Grant Recipients

Each year Town and Parish Councils must set a budget, this forms the Town/Parish Council contribution on your Council Tax bill.

At Howden Town Council we have a grants programme that forms part of this budget setting and we open applications to all community groups/charities across Howden.

At January's Full Council meeting, it was agreed that we would support a large and wide-ranging number of applications to support these groups who are investing their time and efforts to make Howden a better place.
