Thousands of pounds in grants help good causes in Grantham and across South Kesteven Published: 17:05, 12 March 2021 Community groups and organisations in South Kesteven have benefited from thousands of pounds of additional funding during the past year, thanks to grants from their local SKDC councillors. Each elected member has had a Ward Member Grant - increased to £1,000 each during the current financial year - to help counter the effects of Coronavirus on local communities. The scheme was launched in 2018 to help get much-needed local funding directly to the groups that need it with the minimum of fuss and "red tape". Ward member grants have helped many local good causes. (45097776)
