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.

Project delivery

We expect you to spend funds by 20 March 2026 unless otherwise agreed in writing between the county council and applicants.

If your project cannot go ahead as planned, please discuss this with your county councillor(s).  If you have already received funding, you will need to return this to the county council unless specifically agreed otherwise.

Similarly, if you underspend on the project, the county council reserves the right to require return of any unused funding, as it may not be used in line with what was set out in your application.

If you have other funding required for this project to go ahead, you are reminded that the county council cannot release its funding until you have confirmed you have all the remaining funding required.  If this is appropriate to you, in your application you will either confirm that you are already ready to proceed, or that you will let us know when this is the case, and you need the funding.
