THE deadline is fast approaching for the Ilkley Town Council Grants Scheme.

A spokesperson for Ilkley Town Council said: "Ilkley Town Council is keen to contribute financial support to projects being developed by community organisations for purposes which strengthen the community and enhance the well-being of residents and their environment, within Ilkley parish.

"Applications are considered twice a year for community organisations to apply for up to £3,000.

"Applications to the Green Spaces, Environment and Sustainability Committee have now closed for this financial year but there is still the opportunity to apply to our Community Engagement and Partnerships Committee by the 15th of January 2024.
