Other Grants

Community Infrastructure Grants - Applications currently closed, but new round opening in next financial year. If you feel you would be elibible then please email us as you may be able to join the waiting list for funding.

We've set up the community infrastructure grant scheme using funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and the Rural Economic Prosperity Fund (REPF).

Grants are available for capital invetsment only and will prioritise investment for community benefits. We will award grants of between £1,000 and £7,000 to organisations to cover no more than 75% of the costs of the works. Such projects that  will be awarded funding include:

  • fit for purpose, for example alterations, improvements and new facilities
  • digitally connected, for example fast broadband and Wi-Fi
  • welcome and work, for example café development or creating or improving meeting and workspace
