As a result of Creamfields taking place in Halton, the organisers have established the Creamfields Community Fund. This is for Halton community groups and organisations to apply for grants of up to £750. The grants can be put towards projects, events and/or initiatives taking place in Halton.
The priorities for this grant scheme are:
