The council has two Community Grant Schemes for 2025-26 which are now open and accepting applications from eligible community and voluntary groups. Applications are invited from projects or activities which will support at least one of the following priorities as outlined in the council’s Corporate Strategy 2024-2028:
· Economy and Regeneration – work to rejuvenate the economy.
· Supporting communities – to be active, healthy, and safe.
· Sustainable environment – create an environment for the future.
The two grant schemes are:
· Fast Funding Grants for awards of between £500 and £1,500.
· Member Grants for awards of between £2,000 and £3,500.
Information and guidance about the different schemes and how to apply for a grant is available on the council’s website. Please note, applicants can only apply for one type of grant and subject to the availability of funding, both schemes will remain open until 28 February 2026 (any change to this date will be publicised on the council’s website).
