Islington provides funding to celebrate The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
Islington Council is supporting local celebrations of Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, the first ever Platinum Jubilee in British royal history, by providing £20,000 in funding for local celebratory events.
Local community centres, groups and resident associations are eligible to apply for grants of up to £600 per group to put on an event or street party to mark this historic occasion.
The council welcomes ideas put forward by local organisations. Councillor Una O’Halloran, Executive Member for Community Development, said: “Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee is a wonderful opportunity for Islington’s communities to come together in celebration of Her Majesty’s dedicated, selfless service over the last 70 years.
“I encourage all our wonderful communities to come forward with ideas and apply for grants. Whether you are planning a street party, a tea dance, or any other kind of celebration, we look forward to hearing all about it and we hope that everyone in Islington will be able to join in and have fun.”
Community centres and organisations or resident groups interested in setting up an event in their local area can email partnerships@islington.gov.uk to find out more about this funding and to obtain a grant application form.
The closing date for applications is Sunday 10 April (11.59pm). The council will give its decision to applicants by the end of April.
