                                    Town Council Grants

 

The Town Council has a budget available for grants for 2026/27 which will be distributed to community groups, charities and local organisations.

Are you a local community group, charity or local organisation that is looking for funding?

The money can be used to support the cost of a capital project, such as purchasing equipment or works to buildings, or it can be towards the general running costs, or to deliver a community event.  Providing these grants to our community is something that the Council feels privileged to be able do and we want to be able to support our communities where it is needed.

The next round of grants are now open. The deadline for submission of applications is 4pm on Friday 22nd May 2026. Applications received after this time will not be considered.

Applications will go before the Finance & Governance Committee  at their meeting on 8th June 2026.
