Ward grant applications
Community groups and voluntary organisations based in the ward can apply for budget funding by making a ward grant application.
The current funding round is open from 1 May 2026 with a closing date of 31 May 2026.
Subject to funding availability, wards would then open for a second funding round on 31 August 2026 until 27 September 2026.
Community projects eligible for grants may include services for the local area, such as projects which:
- help to achieve ward priorities
- provide a service in the ward
- provide opportunities for ward residents to become involved
Ward Budget City Wide Fund
In addition to ward grant applications, you can apply for the Ward Budget City Wide Fund, which complements the funding available through individual ward grants.
The Ward Budget City Wide Fund is specifically designed to support projects operating in 2 or more wards in the city.
