Deadline: 23-Apr-25
The Financial Assistance Scheme provides a one-off grant to help cover costs directly related to activities within parishes to improve the community experience and ensure efficient management, while parishes continue to preserve their cultural and religious values.
The aid can cover expenses such as the rental of musical instruments, equipment or vehicles required for the maintenance and fitting out of the church, so that the logistical process can be carried out smoothly. It can also finance the printing of invitations, programmes and promotional material to strengthen communication with the community and encourage participation.
In addition, the grant can cover fees for artists, including musicians, singers and presenters. It can also be used for church maintenance costs, to keep the facilities and sets in good condition. In this way, the aid contributes to the organisational excellence of activities and promotes cultural values at the local level.
