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 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.
Awards from £50 up to £350 can be made and all applications must be approved by the relevant ward councillor before the application is submitted.
The Community Foundation Staffordshire is running the fund on behalf of the council.
Applications are now open and will close on the 30 November 2025.
