County councillor's fund

Our county councillors have funding available to support a huge range of community activities, and community groups can submit new applications each year.

Award of funding

If your application is approved, the payment will be processed, and you will be notified of the outcome of your application. The County Council is determined to release funding as soon as possible after approvals.  

Funding must only be used in the way described in your application (or in further written agreements with officers of the county council if appropriate).

Any changes to how you want to use the funding MUST be agreed with officers of the county council, in writing, and you must receive confirmation of this agreement from the Community Fund mailbox at CommunityFund@staffordshire.gov.uk before proceeding.

If you are found to have used the funding differently otherwise, the county council reserves the right to require return of the funding and / or barring your organisation from future rounds of the Fund.

If you find that you have received an unexpected amount when the grant is deposited, we ask that you make contact with the administrators of the fund as soon as possible so this can be discussed and rectified as necessary.

You will receive a certificate to acknowledge the support given by the Councillor(s) through the Community Fund, which we politely request that you display somewhere in your venue during your activity or event.
