Warwickshire County Councillors Grant Fund 2017-18

The Warwickshire County Councillors Grant Fund for 2017-18 is now open for applications from community and voluntary organisations.

The Fund provides each of the County's 57 Councillors with a pot of £5000 to support small-scale projects within their division that support the following outcomes:

• Warwickshire's communities and individuals are supported to be safe, healthy and independent;
• Warwickshire's economy is vibrant and supported by the right jobs, training, skills and infrastructure.

All applications should aim to build community solutions to local issues and improve the health and wellbeing of people living in Warwickshire. In particular, applications which address one or more of the following priority categories will be favoured:

• Improve community assets and their sustainability;
• Improve access to services;
• Improve financial capability;
• Reduce loneliness and isolation.

Individuals and Party Political Groups cannot apply. Those who can apply include constituted 'not-for-profit' community organisations in Warwickshire, non-constituted or new 'not-for-profit' groups working in Warwickshire that can be supported by a mainstream service or community group willing to administer the funds through an organisational bank account Warwickshire Town and Parish Councils.

Applications must be submitted by 9th October 2017.
