Community Grants

How we set up grants to support the community

Community Grants are given to groups and organisations supporting life in the parish. The Parish Council allocates a fund as part of its expenditure budget. 

Lilleshall Parish Council has discretionary powers to award grants to local groups or organisations for the purposes of bringing a direct benefit to the parish or its residents. To be considered for an award, applicants must apply for a grant using the downloadable application form and provide the necessary information.

To receive a grant application form or for any more details please contact the Clerk of the Council.  

Who can apply?

To be eligible for the award of a grant an organisation must:

• be established for charitable, benevolent, social, cultural, recreational or philanthropic purposes.
• have a constitution, or set of rules, which defines its aims, objectives and operational procedures.
• be able to provide a copy of its latest annual accounts and/or most recent bank statement. Its accounts are to be checked and signed by a person independent of the group.
• have a bank account operated by a minimum of at least two joint signatories.
