Read MoreMore than £40,000 is up for grabs by local organisations. Dudley Council’s Small Bids Scheme helps fund activities for children with disabilities and their families. The scheme is open to any local organisation, including schools and groups, who provide out of school activities for children with special educational needs and disabilities. Grants of up to £499 are available and can be used to cover a range of activities such as the cost of group transport for a trip, a fun holiday activity or venue hire. The small bids grants go some way in supporting activities to give children with disabilities and their families, fun and life-enhancing opportunities. They also provide a break for both parents and the child. We have a wide range of activities and groups on offer throughout the borough, from mainstream to specialist activities through this scheme we want to increase the number of opportunities. We are urging local groups and organisations to either get in touch to find out more or submit an application. In some cases, to be eligible, parents and/or the applying organisation must have contributed towards the cost of the activity. Grants are awarded on a monthly basis, the deadline for the next round of bidding 28 June (2pm).

During the fantastic summer of 2018, many older people struggled to keep cool and it’s vital that some precautionary measures are taken to keep safe and well in the warmer months. Dudley Council is running a summer campaign – ‘spring into summer’, this summer, which aims to help older people stay safe, well, healthy and happy over the warmer, months. An information booklet will list hints and tips to stay well, as well as services and organisations that can help people keep healthy, in touch with other people, avoiding feeling isolated and happy this summer. Look out for the booklet at pharmacies, libraries and other local pick up points. Find out more at...
