Public Defibrillator Training – Fill in form 

Being prepared for an emergency doesn't mean expecting one to happen; it simply means taking a few simple steps now that could make a difficult situation much easier to manage. Events such as severe weather, flooding, power cuts, water supply interruptions or other unexpected incidents can happen with little warning. Having important information close to hand, knowing who to contact, and planning what you would do can help reduce stress and enable you to respond quickly if the need arises.

As part of our community resilience planning, Keynsham Town Council is encouraging all residents to take a few moments to familiarise themselves with the information on their Grab & Go card and to keep it somewhere easy to find.

We also recommend making a note of your nearest Place of Refuge should one be opened during an emergency, and discussing your plans with family, friends or neighbours, particularly those who may need extra support.

A little preparation today can make a significant difference tomorrow, helping to keep you, your loved ones and our community safe.

£10,000 funding available for projects that benefit community infrastructure within Keynsham.

Keynsham Town Council is inviting local groups, charities and organisations to apply for a share of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) funding for projects that improve community infrastructure within Keynsham.

*Community Infrastructure Levy is a proportion (15%) of the planning charge that B&NES Council receive from developers of new building projects in the Keynsham area.*

Key eligibility points:

• Projects must provide a clear benefit to the local community.

• Funding must be used for infrastructure or capital type improvements (not general running costs).

• Projects should align with local priorities and planning obligations.

• Applicants must demonstrate how the project will be delivered and managed.

• Some types of expenditure may not be eligible (see full policy for details).

Important This funding scheme is separate from the Keynsham Town Council Community Grant Awards, if you have applied for funding through the Community Grant Awards scheme but feel this opportunity is more in line with your request, please withdraw your application before you have received confirmation of award and re-submit through the CIL scheme. (Applicants can only apply for one scheme).

Residents are also encouraged to come forward and suggest infrastructure projects that could benefit from the scheme.
