The Community and Environment Grant enables the Council to support local voluntary sector organisations with funding to deliver projects that contribute to the Council’s strategic priorities and benefit the residents of the Borough.
All applications would need to evidence how the project would contribute towards the priorities set out in the Council’s strategies. These include:
- Arts, Culture and Heritage Strategy
- Indoor and Outdoor Sports Facilities Strategy
- Environmental Sustainability Strategy
- Other community and environment objectives set out in the Council’s Corporate Plan
Grants of between £2,000 and £15,000 would be made publicly available to voluntary sector organisations based in the Borough or delivering services in the Borough. The Council would support projects that are readily deliverable, sustainable and are innovative. Grant funding would not be able to be used to cover overheads such as rents or business rate payments or duplicate existing funding streams.
Applications for this grant programme will run from 25 September 2026 to 31 October 2026. Limited funds are available so a grants panel will grade and select the best applicants.
Successful applicants will be notified within a month of the closing date. Funding will be distributed within a month of the application being approved, subject to banking details being received.
