Community Grant Fund
The Council regularly supports community-based initiatives, such as Handybus, Burghfield and Mortimer Volunteer Bureau and the Tadley based Citizens Advice. The purpose of the Community Grant Fund is to provide financial support for charity, voluntary and non-commercial organisations which do not routinely seek assistance from the Council, but which support initiatives for the benefit of the Parish and/or its inhabitants.
The Council’s Community Grant Fund Policy (opens in new window) (opens in new window) provides further information regarding the criteria and process.
Following a recent review of the process, the Council has introduced a fixed annual application period to help ensure fairness and clarity for all applicants. Please take note of the key dates for this year:
- Applications open: 1st September 2025
- Deadline for applications: 30th September 2025
- Decisions will be made at the Community Committee meeting on: 16th October 2025
