Community Festivals
A Community Festival is a series of events with a common theme developed from within a community and which celebrates and positively promotes what the community represents. The Festival must be initiated and led by a community organisation or a community led partnership. The community must play a strong part in the development and delivery of the Festival and have ownership of it.
There are two types of community that may apply:
- geographical communities – villages, neighbourhoods, districts or rural areas;
- community of interest – a group of people with a common interest or concern.
Applications must be from a non profit taking voluntary or community organisation based in Cookstown District Council area. The organisation must have a governing document (Constitution or Articles and Memorandum of Association) that has been properly adopted. The organisation must have a bank or building society account and keep a proper record of its accounts.
