Councillor Community Grants
We have launched a councillor grant scheme to support community projects that celebrate the Coronation.
For each of the 11 District Council wards, a total of £1,000 grant funding is available. Grants can be awarded for a minimum of £100 and a maximum of £1,000 and will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
The grants are offered to community groups and parish and town councils. Local groups not affiliated to an organisation can apply through their parish or town council.
The closing date for applications is when all funds have been allocated or Friday 31 March 2023.
