Staffordshire has always had a fantastic voluntary and community sector. Our county councillors have funding available to support a huge range of community activities, and community groups can submit new applications from 6 May 2024 to 3 November 2024.
Each county councillor has up to £2,500 to allocate for:
1. Community projects about looking after ourselves
For example:
- Projects which will support and enhance personal physical health.
- Projects which will support the improvement of wellbeing, resilience and independence.
- Projects that will support the healthy lifestyles.
2. Community projects about looking after those around us
For example:
- Projects to connect people in communities to support, or to each other.
- Projects to give children and young people the best start in life, and the chance to achieve their potential.
- Projects which will support those who need additional help.
- Projects that promote independence, self-care and reablement.
3. Community projects about looking after your place
For example:
- Projects which will enhance the places where we live.
- Projects which will further develop our community spaces.
- Projects that will bring people together to increase community spirit.
Application process opened on the 6 May 2024
To apply for the 2024 Community Fund, please read the guidance about the fund which contains important information about the application, and speak to your county councillor. In planning your activity, you will therefore need to ensure that it has the support of local members you would like to apply to, and that it fits within the Fund Rules and Guidance linked above.
