What is the Cost of Living Community Impact Fund?
In line with the councils cost-of-living plan, the Community Impact Fund is a new grant scheme that will support residents through the cost-of-living. Applicants must demonstrate the impact projects will have on bridging the cost-of-living gap, for the benefit of Dover district residents.
