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 evaluation and publicity

We will expect you to keep in touch with the county councillor(s) about the delivery of the project, as we need to understand how the public money has made a difference for the community. Please be aware that county council officers will likely also contact you for a follow-up on your project.  We will not expect a major piece of evaluation work from you but will want to know the story of how the project has gone, and any key headline details about what you’ve achieved.

The application form for the Fund will ask you for detail on a nominated person responsible for publicity and makes you aware that the county council uses case studies from applications made to the fund, both internally and in external news stories and reports, and that your project may be used in this way.
