Charnwood grants

Please ensure that you are using the most up to date application form and guidance notes – these can be found on the pages which describe each of our Community Grants schemes.

We recognise the value and contribution of individuals, voluntary sector organisations and other community-led projects and the benefits they provide to the residents of Charnwood. 

Through our Charnwood grant schemes we can provide a range of grants to help these organisations, groups and individuals access the funding support they need.
