What the Council can do
The Council can support you with advice on a community project. There are several Council-led programmes in support of funding for community projects:
Community lottery
Broxbourne Lottery helps local voluntary organisations, charities and community groups to raise funds. It is an online lottery with a weekly draw. The top prize is £25,000.
Community grants
Every year the Council invites applications from local not-for-profit organisations for three types of subsidies for the year ahead:
- non-domestic rate (NDR) relief - discount on business rates
- facility subsidies - discount on the hire of Council facilities
- notional rental - discount on rent for tenants of Council properties
Applications open in November, close in December and are awarded in February.
