'The £500 will enable groups to have celebrations for the whole community to mark the historic occasion'
Applications for £500 grants to celebrate the King’s coronation the council area that hosts his official Northern Ireland residence are due to open next week.
Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council had agreed late last year to spend a total of £50,000 marking the coronation of King Charles III this May. The local authority, is home to the monarch’s Northern Ireland residence at Royal Hillsborough, which ratified the funding this week.Castlereagh East councillor, Sharon Skillen, who sits on the King’s coronation working group, said: “I’m delighted that my motion for a working group has enabled funding for communities to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III.” I can’t wait for local schools and arts groups to take part in the watercolour competitions and tapestry workshops.
“The £500 will enable groups to have celebrations for the whole community to mark the historic occasion. “Similar to the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations last year, where groups could apply for £500, it was such a lift for our ratepayers and I would hope this can have a similar effect.For all the latest news, visit the Belfast Live homepage here.
