Ludlow Rotary Cares 2019/20

Ludlow Rotary Cares 2019/20 has now closed for applications. Judging will take place during March and the successful applicants will be announced on March 31st.

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.

‘Ludlow Rotary Cares’ is the name the Club has given to a scheme aimed at encouraging funding applications from charities and other organisations supporting community life in and around Ludlow which could benefit from a modest grant of up to £500. Please follow the links if you would like to know about successful applications in 2015 2016 2017 and 2018.

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. All information contained in applications will only be used within Ludlow Rotary Club and will not be shared with third parties. Unsuccessful applications will be retained for 3 months and then will be destroyed.

Presentation – Those shortlisted were due to be invited to an evening event on March 31st at the Ludlow Mascall Centre but sadly due to Coronavirus the event has been cancelled. Judging will take place virtually and the results announced by March 31st.

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.
