This grant scheme has now closed and will re-open on Monday 7 April 2025.
The Councillor Community Grant Scheme is a budget of £7,000 allocated to each District Councillor to support local voluntary and not for profit organisations within, or that benefit, their ward.
Grants of up to £1,000 per councillor can be awarded, but you can apply to more than one councillor.
The scheme has been set up to contribute towards specific projects and should not be used to cover day-to-day running costs or salaries.
Applications can be made throughout the year until the councillor has spent all of their allocated funds.
