Hide AdCrawley Borough Council Councillor Michael Jones said: “Since the council reopened the small grants scheme after lockdown, it has been an outstanding success that we are extremely proud of. Many deserving groups across Crawley have been able to develop and grow with this support and we all benefit from the stronger community spirit that this helps create.
