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 2026 councillor community fund is now open for applications until 5pm on 30 November 2026.
Please visit Community Foundation for Staffordshire & Shropshire website for details on how to apply.
