Councillor Kevin Bentley, deputy leader of Essex County Council, said the funding already brought into the county was fantastic, especially in the tough economic climate.
MORE than £15 million has come to Essex in grants in just four months.
Since 1 April the Essex Funding Team has helped 14 organisations secure £15.6 million from bodies including the Big Lottery Fund and the European Union to support a range of projects.
The team, run by Essex County Council, provides expert help to charities, community groups, small businesses and other local authorities in putting together funding bids.
