The Horbury and Ossett Phoenix Club are making £6000 available for bids for funding. The money was raised during the past year and with Santa’s sleigh activities. Bids can be made by community, charitable, youth, and sporting organisations as well as individuals within Horbury, Ossett and surrounding areas. Payments from the fund will be limited to £250 per application, unless there are exceptional circumstances when a larger amount will be considered.
In previous years awards have been made to a wide variety of good causes across the district. They have included kit for youth sports teams, musical instruments for bands, support groups for the elderly, school facilities, equipment for brownie packs, youth clubs and equipment for individuals with very specific needs.
Applications need to be completed and returned in accordance with the instructions on the form, by 23 March 2026.
Application and information forms can be obtained by e-mailing to this address: 2026springbids@phoenixrotary.co.uk

The 2026 Spring Bids Presentation event will be held on Sunday 17th May 2026
