Community Resilience Grant Policy

16.1 Neither the Council, nor the Government will accept deliberate manipulation of the scheme and fraud. Any applicant caught falsifying information to gain grant money or failing to declare entitlement to any of the specified grants will face prosecution and any funding issued will be recovered from them or their grant offer rescinded if payment has not already been issued. 

16.2 Organisations are required to provide the information as detailed in paragraph 3.6 to enable fraud checking which may be conducted through the National Fraud Initiative. Organisations that fail to provide this information will not be considered for a grant and may still be subject to fraud checks. 

16.3 Applicants should note that, where a grant is paid by the Council, details of each individual grant may be passed to Government. 

16.4  The Council reserves the right to reclaim any grant paid in error.
