At the Full Council meeting on 29 April 2026, representatives from two local organisations were invited to collect a certificate of grant aid, in recognition of the grants that had been awarded by the Council.

Certificates were awarded as follows:

Community Haircuts towards the cost of providing the service - £400

Ellingham & Ringwood Cricket Club towards the costs associated with setting up junior cricket teams - £250

There will be another opportunity for local organisations to submit applications for grant aid in September 2026 - please see the grant aid scheme page for more information.
