The community facilities grants scheme is now open for 2022/23.

The Community facilities grants scheme can award funding of up to £20,000, to a maximum of 50% of the cost of a project.

This scheme supports the renovation, improvement and provision of community buildings, including fitting out and provision of facilities for people with disabilities, (but not routine maintenance).

This grants scheme is available for applications from all Charnwood Voluntary and Community Sector organisations, including Sports Clubs and Physical Activity groups.

For further information, advice or assistance please contact Grants Administration.
