Voluntary and community organisations working in ºÚÁÏÍøÕ¾ can now apply online for strategic grants of £5,000 or more from ºÚÁÏÍøÕ¾ Borough Council.

The council awards one-off and regular grants to organisations for new or existing projects or services that will benefit the people of ºÚÁÏÍøÕ¾. This funding programme is designed to support local voluntary and community groups.

The council is particularly interested in applications to help with the priorities identified in the community funding and support policy. Organisations intending to apply should read the policy and contact the council to discuss an outline proposal. Online applications must then be received by Friday 25 October.

Proposals selected for funding, including match funding or a contribution, will be able to provide a local project or service supported by the council from April 2025.

Last year we awarded over £250,000 of Strategic Grants to 14 local organisations as well as many more small grants. We are proud to offer more funding support to not-for-profit organisations working in ºÚÁÏÍøÕ¾ this year. The charities and community groups funded will provide a range of support in the borough to help residents and groups in need. If your community group has a new project idea, or has not previously applied, you may be interested in applying to one of our funding schemes.
