​The current year’s budget for Small Grants is £5,000 and £5,000 for Green Grants. New applications are considered on their merits, bearing in mind the following criteria:

• The amount of the Grants Budget available, maximum award is £1000
• The benefit(s) to the community
• The viability of the project
• The likelihood of attracting funds from other sources
• The financial status of the applicant
• Applications must not be retrospective unless there is a strong health and safety case

In general, the Council avoids giving grants for items that constitute revenue or core funding.  Matched Funding is encoouraged.   Further details can be found in our Terms of Reference and process guide.

For Grant applications under £500 a decision, will be given within 2 weeks (delegated authroity). For Grant applications over £500, a decision will be made by committee who meet in February, June and October.
