Hounslow Council offering £500 celebration grants
Community groups in Hounslow can get a grant of up to £500 to run a celebratory event during the Diamond Jubilee or the Olympics.
The money is being made available by Hounslow Council and over 33 applications for such funding have already been made.
Anyone seeking flats to rent in Hounslow can look forward to a summer of fun as a result of the initiative.
Mimi Konigsberg, Hounslow's director of community services, said: "The first round was very successful and we want to continue to help local groups who are planning events during Hounslow's summer of celebration."
She went on to note any submission surrounding the Olympic Torch - which will pass through the area on July 24th - will get a particularly warm welcome.
Ms Konigsberg went on to note individuals can "bring an event or activity to life" if they are successful in their application.
Those proposals seen to promote community cohesion will be favoured.
