As a Community Council, East Lothian Council gives us a sum of money each financial year to allocate to local priorities.
How do I access this money?
To make sure we are fair, open and accountable we have an application form which each group needs to complete and submit to the CC.
Where can I get the Form?
You can get the form from any Councillor, from this website (from Local Diary page under Meeting Minutes) or through emailing info@gaddabout.org.uk
What happens after I submit the form?
The application is considered by a commitee of the CC which then makes a recommendation to the full CC at our monthly meeting. So that we do the job thoroughly we have a set of agreed prodecures which can be accessed from the Local Diary page under Meeting Minutes.
What example of grants are there?
This year we have given grants to Dirleton Church Hall, Aberlady Community Woodland Association, Aberlady After School Club, Gullane Football Club, Gullane Bowling Club, Gullane and Dirleton History Society and Gullane Youth Arts project. East Lothian Council does not encourage us to carry over any unspent funds and currently we have £1,820 left to allocate before the end of March.

PC Banks advised that he had been in the Police for 10 years and had been stationed in Tranent. He had lived locally and had a good knowledge of the area. He has been at North Berwick for 3 weeks and will be trying to get to know people in the local villages and hoped to attend local group meetings to gain a better understanding of the needs of the area.
