Ward Councillor Grant Scheme returns from 30 April to back local projects
Wednesday, 30 April 2025
We are relaunching our Ward Councillor Grant Scheme on 30 April 2025, giving communities another chance to secure funding for local projects that make a real difference.
Each councillor has access to £2,000 to support local groups, charities, and community initiatives that bring clear benefits to residents. Councillors can also team up to combine their funds where a bigger impact is needed.
The scheme can support a wide range of initiatives—from arts and culture to the environment, sport, health, wellbeing, social inclusion and diversity. In the past, funding has helped pay for toddler group play equipment, community garden planters, defibrillators and village noticeboards.
Interested in applying?
Residents and groups are encouraged to speak with their ward councillor before applying. Full guidance and the online application form will be available from launch day.
