Community ward funding 22/23
We would like to announce that the third round of applications for Community Ward Funding 2022 to 2023 is now open until Friday 18 November 2022.
The theme for this additional tranche will be Cost of Living. You can apply for any amount of funding that will have an impact on the local community during this time.
Projects must be used on practical initiatives led by community groups to have an immediate impact on families and individuals most impacted by the cost-of-living crisis.
Please note that this funding cannot be used for personal needs or on an individual basis. There are further details of funding available for residents and local businesses below.
Please read the community ward funding guidelines (PDF) before applying.
Applications must be received by 5pm on Friday 18 November 2022.
All applicants will be informed of the outcome of their application within two weeks.
If successful, you will be asked to formally accept the offer via the grant portal within three weeks of notification.
