Community grant scheme

Community grant scheme

Are you in a community group that needs help to buy equipment or upgrade your facilities? If so, you could be eligible for one-off funding from the council. 
We run a community grant scheme to provide small-scale financial support to voluntary or charitable organisations that benefit local people.
A range of ages and communities in Hertsmere have already benefited from the council’s community grant scheme.
Just over £57,000 has been awarded as community grants to 34 voluntary, charitable and non-profit organisations in the borough during 2014/2015. Community grants can be used, for example, for buying equipment, producing marketing information, training, upgrading facilities or venue hire. The maximum amount which can be applied for is £3,000.
Applications for community grants must be made by Friday, 12 June 2015.
To apply for a community grant fill out an online form at www.hertsmere.gov.uk/communitygrants, call 020 8207 7801 or email corporate.support@hertsmere.gov.uk
