Terms and Conditions
This fund is open to charities and organisations in the greater Warrenpoint area- within a 15 miles radius. This fund is also open to our closest neighbours across the Lough in Omeath.
Successful recipients will be notified by Friday 22nd December 2023 and funds allocated accordingly.
Warrenpoint Port and its partners will endeavour to support as many of the applications as possible that meet the specified criteria. If oversubscribed, applicants may not qualify for their requested allocation. Warrenpoint Harbour Authority may at its discretion pro rata reduce all or some awards for applicants who meet the qualifying criteria. Essential criteria include, being a local charity or organisation that will contribute to health, wellbeing, and environment.
In the event of a significant number of entries that exceeds the allocated fund, successful entries will be prioritised by ensuring a diverse selection of organisations are meaningfully represented for example schools, charities, community groups; that different time periods across the year are covered, that in the panel’s opinion value for money impact is best achieved.
Participants must be willing to produce receipts or evidence of Community Christmas project delivery on request.
Successful Applicants must be willing to participate in publicity in relation to receipt of the funding.
Charities or organisations wishing to appeal an adverse decision may do so in writing either to the Chair of the WHA Board or the Chair of the Audit Risk and Compliance sub-committee. The decision of the single stage appeal process will be deemed final.
