2025 Community Fund
About the fund
Staffordshire has always had a fantastic voluntary and community sector. Our county councillors have funding available to support a huge range of community activities, and community groups can submit new applications from 30 June 2025 to 30 November 2025.
Each county councillor has up to £2,500 to allocate for:
1. Community projects that support us to look after ourselves
For example:
- Projects which will support and enhance personal physical health.
- Projects which will support the improvement of wellbeing, resilience and independence.
- Projects that will support the healthy lifestyles.
2. Community projects that focus on looking after those around us
For example:
- Projects to connect people in communities to support, or to each other.
- Projects to give children and young people the best start in life, and the chance to achieve their potential.
- Projects which will support those who need additional help.
- Projects that promote independence, self-care and reablement.
3. Community projects that focus on looking after your place
For example:
- Projects which will enhance the places where we live.
- Projects which will further develop our community spaces.
- Projects that will bring people together to increase community spirit.
4. Community projects supporting cultural activities in your local area
For example:
- Projects which provide accessible and inclusive cultural activity.
- Projects which support local artists and creators.
- Projects that will bring people together to promote local pride in culture and heritage.
