  1. Please see changes to the Council’s corporate priorities listed under ‘Criteria.’  Applications will need to meet one of the corporate priorities and address positive outcomes for one or more of the key priorities set out in the health and Wellbeing Strategy.
  2. Organisations can now apply for a percentage of management and/or salary costs to run the project which should be no more than 20% of the total project cost.  If you are applying for core costs only then this would not apply.
  3. Organisations that have benefitted from three consecutive years of community funding (discretionary) grant awards will not be eligible to apply for a period of twelve months.

The UK’s PSTN (landline) network switch-off is finalized for 31 January 2027. Are you ready?

Digital Landline Switchover – Information for Weekley Residents. What Residents Should Check. Please identify any devices connected to your landline, including: Medical alarms and telecare pendants, Burglar alarms and CCTV systems, Fax machines and intercom systems. If you use any of these services, contact the equipment provider or manufacturer to confirm they are compatible with digital phone lines.

Power Cuts and Emergency Calls. Digital landlines rely on mains electricity and may not work during a power cut unless a backup battery is provided. This is especially important for residents who: rely on a landline in an emergency, have poor mobile signal, or use telecare equipment. Phone providers must offer additional support for vulnerable customers where required.

Support for Vulnerable Residents. Residents who are elderly, vulnerable, or use medical alert systems should ensure they are registered with their provider’s Priority Services Register. Providers can offer additional help and backup solutions during the switchover.

Local Information for Weekley. Residents in Weekley are included in the national migration programme to digital landlines. Residents with private alarm or monitoring systems are encouraged to contact their supplier now to confirm compatibility before the national switch-off deadline.

Beware of Scams. Please be cautious of unexpected calls requesting payment or personal details regarding the switchover. Genuine providers normally contact customers by letter and do not request upfront payment for standard migration. Further information:  GOV.UK digital landline guidance
