Coronation Celebrations Grant scheme
Local councils, charities and community organisations in Uttlesford had the opportunity to apply for funding to help with the costs of events to celebrate the Coronation of His Majesty the King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort.

About the grant
You can use this funding to help to organise street parties, beacon lighting or other celebrations. But your event must be open to everyone.
We'll be making available at least £700 to each parish in the district to help with the celebrations.
You can also apply for an additional grant of up to £200 towards planting trees to commemorate the Coronation.
The closing date for applications is midday on Thursday 13 April 2023.
