Positive Feedback from Eckington Village Memorial Hall Grant Recipient
"A big thank you from Eckington Village Memorial Hall committee to Elmley Community Arts Fund for their grant that enabled us to purchase and install our new electrically operated screen making our community film nights so much less stressful to set up.
Other groups from our local community who use the hall are also benefitting as the screen has made presentations and displays so much easier.
Applying for the grant was quite straightforward using the online grant application tool and did not require excessive supporting documentation (as we have found with other organisations)."
