Discretionary Grant Scheme

Ward Discretionary Funding

You can apply for funding to support community projects and activities. This is called Ward Discretionary Funding.

We give grants to voluntary and community organisations. These are sometimes called third sector organisations.

We aim to be open, fair and helpful in how we manage public money.

Who can apply

  • voluntary and community groups
  • organisations with a constitution
  • groups that meet the purpose of the fund

What we do not fund

We do not fund:

  • political organisations
  • religious activities that promote religion or require participation
  • costs already incurred
  • hospitality (unless essential to the project)
