Motor Vehicles are for many of us, the main mode of transport
of which we can rely heavily on in everyday life. But what would happen if your vehicle suddenly disappeared or was broken into? Whilst we can’t always prevent it there are simple steps that we can all take to reduce our chances of becoming a victim of car crime.

Did you know that your local Community Council has a fund from which local projects could benefit from?
 
Some examples of what it has been used for:

• Local awards to sports clubs
• Environmental initiatives such as planting and composting
• Music groups

The Community Council assesses awards against the following criteria.  Submitting an application is easy!

• Benefits as large as possible a number/cross-section of our communities.
• Environmental improvement.
• Projects which the Community Council sees as necessary but where East Lothian Council or other funding is unavailable, is partial (we can help to top-up) or will take too long to deliver.
• Funding to meet individuals/groups with particular needs in our communities.
• Projects which are one-off, since the Community Council cannot provide funding for on-going operations.
• Projects that will promote our communities, for example in tourism.
• Evidence of what funding you have or will have raised towards your project – the Community Council will not normally agree to provide full funding.
