The Hub of Hope Foundation has also applied for £1,000 to fund a summer club for primary-aged children, while Freedom Leisure and N-Able's applications are still under review due to missing bank details, statements and accounts required for consideration.
The community grants fund, with an annual budget of £20,000, is managed and funded by Newtown Town Council and the applications are expected to be approved by the council's Resources Committee.
