We operate two schemes, the community grants scheme and the small grant scheme; both are designed to support local community organisations, charities and CICs delivering services within Thurcroft, Brampton en-le Morthen and Laughton Common. We will consider two application per organisation each financial year (1st April to 31st March) for the community grant scheme and we award our small grants throughout the financial year.
It is recommended that applicants thoroughly read the council’s grants policy before making an application and where necessary contact the Clerk for advice on your application.
The council will not fund salaries, hospitality, religious organisations (except for non-religious activities), core school expenditure or projects with party political links.
