Background – Over the last 4 years the Rotary Club of Ludlow has been able to invest around £23,000 in a range of local community projects through the initiative ‘Ludlow Rotary Cares’. This year, following another very successful Ludlow Dog Day event at Stokesay Court held last July, the Club is again looking to invest in our local communities.

Judging of Applications– The Club intends to be very open minded about the types of activities it will support so long as the project or programme responds to a community need in or within 15 miles of Ludlow and meets the criteria described above for grants awarded by Ludlow Rotary Cares. What the Club will need to understand is exactly what the money will be used for, who will benefit from it and how much difference it will make.
Presentation – Those shortlisted will be invited to an evening event on March 31st at the Ludlow Mascall Centre at which they will be asked to explain their project for a few minutes to a small panel who will complete a final review before confirming their decisions. There will also be an opportunity to meet other applicants as well as members of Ludlow Rotary Club. The Club aims to distribute the grants within the subsequent few days.
Follow Up – A condition of the grant is that within 6 months of being awarded the grant the recipient will provide Ludlow Rotary Club with feedback on how the grant has been spent, including where possible photographs.
