Councillor Locality Grants
Each County Councillor has an allocation of £10,000 per year to
enable them to respond to local needs in their divisions, supporting
projects or activities that benefit the communities they represent.
The intention is that the funding adds value to projects that are
beneficial to local communities, and that further the Council’s
strategic objectives. Projects are diverse, reflecting the needs of local
communities.
A wide range of organisations can apply for funds. There are
principles that will help Councillors in deciding whether projects and
activities are eligible for locality budget funding which include can the
project or activity be easily funded from another source? Locality
budget funding is an ‘investment of last resort’, and is the project or
activity consistent with the Council’s strategic objectives?
Applying is easy but you must contact your Local County Councillor
before filling in the form.
