Councillor community fund
Community groups including smaller grassroots groups across Lichfield District can apply for councillor funding to support projects that will have a positive impact on their area.
Each Lichfield District ward councillor has £300 to award to support:
- Projects that provide local solutions to local needs.
- One-off events that benefit the local community and support community resilience.
- Current projects/activities that need a small amount of support to continue or grow.
- Capital items (equipment, materials etc).
- New projects and activities that need some funding to get going.
- Projects that stimulate new community activity, such as setting up new local community events and clubs.
The Councillor Fund for 2026 will be open for applications from 01 May 2026. Please visit Lichfield District Council Councillor’s Community Fund – Community Foundation for Staffordshire & Shropshire for details on how to apply. The application window will close at 5pm on 30 November 2026
