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 £350 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 Community Fund for 2025 is now closed to applications. 2026s fund will be launched soon.
