All the organisations have contributed their own funds to the proposed schemes.
MessFest21 is being organised by Messingham Horse & Foal Show, which will put the money towards holding a one-off social event in August to help the community celebrate the easing of Covid-19 restrictions.
The Girls Friendly Society in Frodingham will put their funds towards buying equipment which will provide girls with the opportunity to develop self-esteem, confidence, wellbeing and resilience.
Scawby Parish Council will use their grant award, along with £17,000 of their own funds, for a multi-use games area in the village.
Community grants are available to most non-profit organisations with social aims, and applications are expected to show how the project will keep people safe and well, enable communities to flourish and promote economic growth.
Applications from new groups are always welcome. For more information, go to the Community Funding page on our website.
