What could you do with a community grant?

If you have an idea for a project involving your local community, we might be able to offer you or your community group some financial help.

Our ‘Welcommunity’ fund provides small grants for starting up projects, for events, development, equipment and materials for community groups which operate within the areas covered by Cottsway.

The grants help local groups to take part in, and benefit from, a wide range of community services and activities.

 If your idea or project falls within one of these areas, we want to hear from you.

- For young people and children

- Help address rural issues

- Help prevent debt, provide financial advice and reduce poverty

- Contribute towards climate change and energy efficiency

Groups and individuals can apply, but not commercial businesses. If you would like to find out more, contact our Active Communities team on 01993 890071/2 or freephone 0800 8 766 366  or email us on act@cottsway.co.uk
