Subsidies

WOCA can support local groups to help meet their costs. This is usually in the form of subsidised rates for room hire. Applications for such support should be made to the committee, stating how it will benefit the community. Applications will be assessed on how they promote WOCA's current priorities in line with its overall aims of improving social welfare, education, recreation and leisure in the locality.
